Nora Lourie Percival
Nora Lourie Percival was born just after World War I began,
in Samara, on the Volga River in Russia. The revolution
drove her father out of the country to safety, and her
family lived through a civil war and a famine. These
tribulations were recorded in "Weather of the Heart," her
first memoir. In 1922 the family was reunited in New York,
where Nora grew up. The author’s career has been largely in
the editorial field. She has worked for Random House, the
American Management Association, and Barnard College. Now
long retired, she is still writing and doing free-lance
editing. An only child, she has raised five children and now
has eleven grandchildren, all wonders. She lives in the
mountains of North Carolina, where she enjoys the natural
beauties and is inspired by the literary renaissance in the
South.
