Ella Rea Murphy spent twenty years as a teacher of special needs children, chronicling her students’ emotional and educational development for their parents, teachers and administration. Now she turns to the story of her own life, “Instead of memoirs, I chose to write, Maria’s Awakening, which was much more fun and still incorporates some of the history of that very challenging time, along with experiences of people I have known in my life.”  Ella joins us to talk “All About Hope,” her latest release in this riveting, true-to-life series.
