| copy | Anne Ringer ran away from the circus as a child. A university creative writing professor and her family took Anne in and raised her as one of their own. In this warm and television-less setting she learned to appreciate the great classics of literature. The stream of aspiring and accomplished writers that flowed constantly through the house confirmed her repudiation of the circus family she'd been born into: Barbarians! The steadily growing recognition of her literary work was, to her, vindication. When her brother's brush with death brought them together after many years, she took advantage of life's crazy chance thing and broke the wall of anger that she had constructed to separate them. Together they wrote, Is Anger the Enemy? an even greater blockbuster than her other collaborative work, with Michel DeFrance, The Gourmet Microwave. |
