Granny's Secret

by Barbara Edwards

My grandmother was born in 1880, it was only after her death that her secret came out. Family history research revealed more and then I got caught up with what happened and wrote a small amount of fiction around it. I had one small diary she wrote near the end of her life and my own diary entries to add to the story. So it is a small book round social life at the beginning of the twentieth century and how to put together some brief family records.

About the author

I’m Barbara Edwards and a native New Englander. I’m a graduate of the University of Hartford with a Master’s degree in Public Administration. I write poetry for myself and novels when I need to tell a longer tale. I’m fascinated by the past so naturally turned to writing historical romance. The dark paranormal stories evolve from nightmares. The romance comes from my belief in people’s basic goodness and longing for love.
