About the Author

Tracey Gray is an Aussie Mum in her early fifties. She has four children: three sons, Steve, 28, Tim, 25 and Peter, 23; and a daughter, Lauren, 15. Tracey wrote this story when her sons were young but in early 2014 after graduating from her Bachelor of Arts degree, decided she needed to produce something to show who she was and why she chose to study English as her major. Tracey lives in the outer Western suburbs of Sydney and works part time for a Community Housing organisation. A widow since 2010, Tracey enjoys spending time with her family and looks forward to some day being a grandmother. Tracey hopes to be able to travel more and possibly do more writing projects. This book is a tribute to God, her kids and extended family who have encouraged, loved and supported her throughout her journey.
