I returned to college at 22, working as a bank clerk, girl-Friday, and researcher. I divorced my fi rst husband and married Sheldon Gardner, my professor at Cal State University, and earned a Ph.D. in psychology. When Sheldon died, I retired to a barrier island in Georgia. Needing a companion I adopted a Yorkie, then became a certifi ed yoga teacher and Buddhist. Somehow I found time to write. First Personality and Bereavement. I needed to make sense of my loss. And then Sheldon’s imaginative memoir, Goombah Luigi’s Grandson: memoir of a Jewish psychologist. Currently Nils, Tahshi and I divide our time between three islands in the Virgins, Georgia, and Maine.view less
