After
earning an M.A. in English literature, Nancy taught junior and
senior high school English in the Bronx. At the College of Staten
Island, she taught writing courses and helped establish an alternate
school for students at risk on the college campus. Determined
to find a way to help students strengthen weak language skills
and repair their mangled self-esteem, she developed an effective
classroom motivational program. Later, when she was raising her
own children, she adapted these ideas for home use as a way of
protecting her children--two of whom had reading difficulties--from
the damage her students had suffered due to early reading/writing
problems. In l995, she began giving her hour-long workshops, "Raising
Passionate Readers and Learners," to parents and educators in
the New York area. Nancy's novel, Disturbing The Peace
is a witty, insightful book about a thirty-five year single woman
who is stalled in her life and who searches for her biological
mother in order to make peace with the past. To learn more about
