Autorenporträt
Wendy Gorton Hill woke to the sound of running water. Following a path of household disarray, she discovered her glassy-eyed, 15-year-old son, in the bathroom, "measuring the sink". Despite an intense love of words, she sat speechless. Neither her upbringing as a pastor's kid nor her background as a high school English teacher prepared her for her new parental identity. When the words finally poured from her molten heart, she penned Watching the Wayward, her first book of poetry. A 2000 graduate of The Institute of Children's Literature, Wendy writes about reading books and raising boys on her blog at www.ofbooksandboys.blogspot.com. She lives in a farmhouse outside of Indianapolis, Indiana, with her husband, sons, dog... and a yet unmeasured sink.
