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.
