Deborah Alston WroblewskiDeborah Alston Wroblewski is a former nurse. She is a wife, mother of four, grandmother of eleven, art teacher, artist, writer and poet whose work explores resilience, pain, love, endurance and the beauty of imperfection. Her medical condition shapedher life, her art, and soul but no longer defines her. She gives voice to all women's struggles with body image, marriage, losing one's self, perfectionism, forgiveness, and acceptance. Her memoir in poems seeks to unleash the quiet voice of the silenced woman, the everywoman. She lives in Santa Barbara, California, a long way from her Philadelphia roots, with her husband, Edmund, and cat, Gus, in an old Tudor house near her adult children and many grandchildren. She no longer carries her threadbare security blanket of anger. Read More Read Less
