Mary Jaffe (née Scott) dreamed of becoming a National Geographic journalist, but it was a dream unrealized. Now, at the age of seventy-seven—after thirty-five years of teaching, ten of professional opera singing and theatrical directing, raising a family, and caring for her terminally ill husband for a decade—she has turned to writing historical fiction. She is presently writing war stories based on the Irish Rebellion of 1641, has become somewhat an expert on Irish and Scottish immigrant history, but her biggest goal is to learn the amazing history of her sons’ African American family of Texas. On her own, one of their great grandmothers won a local judgment against her deceased master’s plantation estate, then things did not go well.
