Daphne Matthews - Daphne Matthews
With a BS in English and several graduate classes behind me, I have written and published two books, Only Seventeen and Images of America: Hiltons, several short stories, poems and articles throughout the years. I am a wife and a home-schooling mother of two teenage boys who both have disabilities. I am both physically and mentally disabled myself, and therefore, do much research on the many disabilities that affect my family. I hope to share my knowledge of some of these issues, as well as knowledge of my many hobbies and the world at large, with my readers.
