Autobiography of Tammy

Books were important in my life as a child. One of the nuns at St Peter's Catholic School would say
"The library is the storehouse of of all the world's knowledge--Do you have the key?

Books enrich our lives and expand the mind. Books are educational. They are an educational laboratory.

I've always been interested in writing dating back to my college days when I won an essay contest. However, over the the years I've been very busy working as a professional social worker that I've not pursued writing as much as I've liked except for a few professional articles, and several book reviews for a magazine.

Writing is a hobby for me.

The writing of  of Autobiography of Tammy might be described as the use of synthetic imagination. I was inspired by material from my own experience, observation in my own environment. All of us have experiences in our daily personal lives which are interesting, funny, pleasurable, informative or validate common human experiences. Some people share their experiences verbally and some write them down.

Tammy chronicles the birth, early life, of Tammy, one of a litter of kittens the results of an adult male cat given to me by a co-worker at Children's Medical Center, and a female cat name Sandy given to my husband by a co-worker.

Tammy is a special cat who is observant, affectionate, and intelligent. She perceives human biases and fallibility. She is a happy cat who enjoys life and brings happiness.

Tammy's message is that we all have developmental growing experiences that we can successfully cope with with nurture and support of family and others--that as creation continues to unfold its a joy and special adventure to behold life forms besides ourselves.    Gladys T.
