Barbara Clarke has received many labels through the years, some unwanted-"Best Body" in the ninth grade and "ex-wife" twice. In midlife, she worked in Kenya; she later developed a career as an executive. She has moved more than sixty times. A mailperson once told her that she held the local record for the most forwarding labels of someone not fleeing the law: three. And most recently she was given a label she treasures, earned in a class developing this memoir: "Most likely to start a forgiveness movement." You can find out more about her varied career as a writer and read her blog at www.barbaraclarke.net. She lives in Bellingham, WA.
