I'm a newcomer to Connecticut, via Pennsylvania and Western New York (WNY).  I live in the north end of town, and am enjoying all the wonderful things Middletown has to offer.  My back story is complicated, but let's just say that I built a successful medical practice and raised 2 children by myself back in PA.  After moving to WNY, all was lost through a series of tragic financial disasters and illness. After my twins established themselves in college and I emerged from a terrible depression, I landed here.  I've written a book to help and encourage others, and want to share my story and knowledge of hope and change.  I haven't been here long, but find it a magical place of acceptance, support and community.  I'm really glad to be here.  I love birds, music and reading, and especially the Russell Library!
