My memoir, Tempered By Fire, begins with an accident. I was seriously burned; it changed my life, but ultimately for the better. I then proceed chronologically: childhood in a small town on the plains, college, marriage, children, Ph.D. at 50, career, divorce, love relationships, eventual reconciliation with my husband. I retire to a farm and work to restore it to native forest. Comments from readers: The author, comes across as likable, trustworthy, funny and charming; also self-deprecating and honest, quite deep. The arc of her life is remarkable, with surprises around every corner, a great story.
