Thirteen-year-old Anna Gwendolyn Shaw had been passionate about two things: becoming an architect and traveling the world by train. But being bullied and belittled had crushed her confidence, so she gave up on those dreams.
Brief description: Despite Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Deborah Zvanut Drake achieved a Master's Degree in Occupational Therapy and practiced thirty years in school-based, geriatric, psychiatric and skilled nursing rehabilitation. She was often saddened by people, ages 3 to 103, who appeared to have lost their self-worth, dreams and dignity.Reaching vulnerable young teens to floundering seniors, Deborah shines a bright light on how dreams are lost, and how to reclaim them. Her wacky, whimsical characters-with their round-about style of finding lost dreams-reflect Deborah's own creative methods helping her patients conquer their obstacles. As Nevah-Tu-Latte says, it's never too late!Deborah and husband Ernie live in Houston, where they raised Darren, Nathan and Catherine, along with a few Seaphairies.
