Debbie Tillinghast writes about a place that is near and dear to me- Prudence Island, Rhode Island. My husband introduced me to Prudence twenty-two years ago, and his family have helped me make it my island as well as theirs. Read about Debbie’s beginnings in Prudence, and check her out at the ARIA Author Expo on December 5th at the Lincoln Mall, with over 100 local authors. And watch for Debbie and me at the Elephant Room in Cranston on December 17th, where we will be reading from our works on Memoir Night.
