As a child she was always conjuring up stories in her head, and even consigned some of them to paper, but she "outgrew" that. She graduated from Florida State University with degrees in Psychology and Biology, married, raised a son, and engaged in a banking career. Her husband, James, supported and encouraged her in all her interests, which include rescuing homeless pets, painting with oils, and various creative arts and crafts.
Then, well into middle age, Jeanne and James adopted a severely abused little girl from Florida's state foster care system, and what an adventure it was! Jeanne started keeping notes to help her remember the details of the many sad, funny, and poignant events that punctuated her life with her new daughter, Rosemary. A couple of years later Jeanne discovered that she had accumulated a sizeable collection of jotted-down memories, enough to be the basis for a real book, and she wanted to share her experiences. And Rosemary was still growing up, constantly supplying new input to Jeanne's treasure trove of tales.
The urge to write returned to Jeanne, and it could not be denied. So, she became a member of the Tallahassee Writers Association and took courses in creative writing. Eventually, in a seven-year labor of love, Jeanne wrote the complete story of her relationship with Rosemary, including how they came together in the first place, in her book, Daughter of my Heart: A Mother's Memoire about Adopting and Loving an Abused Child.
Jeanne currently resides with James in retirement with numerous pets, near Tallahassee, Florida. Contact her at jeanneramseyauthor.wordpress.com.ver menos
