    Author

    Audrey M. Smith

    In 2007, Audrey relocated from her lifelong home near Erie, Pennsylvania to Vermont. She is still reeling from the cultural shock and trying to wrap her brain around how one can drive a mere 1.5 hours and be out of the state and in another country! Career: 950+ Published works: nonfiction articles in National magazines, newspapers, educational books and other publications. First Novel: On Your Knees: A Family’s Tale of Courage & Survival - A 10 year writing journey of sweat and a fair amount of tears. As I wrote, I undertook a rough ride through divorce and a zillion revisions of the book. I got to know my characters well while I regained myself. Enjoy the read! Please let me know what you think about the book, the characters, and where you think the sequel should take each character.

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go
