I have lived most of my life in New England, but my heart will always remain in Vermont. I accom-plished all that I wanted with in my career, but as my vocation, I love to write, and have been drafting short stories and poems from childhood. After tak-ing early retirement, I put pen to paper and gave birth to the scrapes of stories and poems filed away, and The Hollow was born. It is a metaphorical sto-ry of a naïve country girl from the foothills of Ver-mont. I say metaphorical, but I will let you decide. I'll give you a clue-Bettie I. MacIntyre.
