About the Author

Penny P. Abrams was born, bred and educated in the NE USA. She was in the class of 52 at Brandeis University, active in her communities in the schools and in civil liberty issues. After raising their three children, she moved to the Virgin Islands with her husband where they lived for 20 years. There she added SCUBA diving, sailing, and teaching to her activities. She made many friends, amongst them the iguana who sat on her foot as she read on the beach and then swam with her when she went into the water. When Ms. Abrams grandchildren visited, they would collect bags of hibiscus blossoms to feed the big, old iguanas who lived at nearby Limetree Beach. It is to them she dedicates this book. She now lives in Southwest Florida where she seldom sees iguanas but does live in a bird preserve. She has another book, An Other Time, which may be purchased on her website, www.PennyPAbramssupportprose.com.
