Madelyn F. Young has won numerous state and local awards for her short stories, memoirs, and essays. A retired teacher and school administrator, Madelyn is active in the Village Writers’ Club in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas, where she lives with her husband, Robin. They have three children and five grandchildren.
Southern writer Madelyn Young thinks that when a woman enters her seventies, it is time to stop talking about what she is going to do and get on with it. In her collection of award-winning stories and essays, Young shares tales of family loyalty and love, discord, and intrigue as she poignantly reflects on a life well-lived.
From her first tale to the last, Young entertains adults of all ages with the hope that her stories will encourage other writers to always look inside when gleaning story ideas.
