Sophia Bar-Lev

On a bright Spring afternoon many years ago, Sophia Bar-Lev's 5th grade teacher asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up. Without hesitation, Sophia answered, "I want to write books - lots of them."

Busy for a number of years with raising a family and teaching school, in more recent years she has been primarily involved in adult education. Meanwhile, the passion for writing remained very much alive and has been continually nourished by her large and energetic family (20 grandchildren - there may yet be more!), by her extensive travels and by her professional experience as an educator and speaker.
