She interacted for years with social services agency representatives to help young disabled people obtain the benefits they deserve. Her experiences of living in Japan with a career in policy study (political), telecommunications and financial services, her pride in her Cherokee Indian roots and her memories of growing up in a large family in Michigan, raising and canning food then having her own children as a teenager add intuition to the characters' feelings.

It's Cheaper to Let Them Die," that chronicles how servicemen join and retaliate against their unfair treatment by Washington bureaucrats.Book Availability: Amazon or Barnes and Noble.Contact: Edward David and Karen Worstell Lagarde, 845-642-2765,
