Patricia's Story
Graduated South Side, went to college and grad school, tried to get a job writing poetry or the great American novel. I used to tell my parents that I was going to open an "English Store."
Eventually I decided to become a librarian ( a profession I love!)and worked in libraries for a number of years. I later went to work for Library Journal. In 1976 I co-founded Neal-Schuman Publishers with a colleague--John Neal.
I have 3 step-daughters, 3 step-grandchildren.
I married and divorced in my twenties; I lost my second husband to cancer four years ago. Last December I married a wondeful man and am ecstatically happy.
