Jory Reedy
Jory's love for reading began many
years ago when her granddmother would
spend hours reading to her. In third
grade she was introduced to the "Little
House" books by Laura Ingalls Wilder.
Then after reading the John Jakes
North South trilogy Jory knew history
was somewhere in her future.
Jory graduated with a degree in
history and a certificate to teach
social studies. But her heart was not
in teaching. Instead she went in to
retail management. And what better
place but a book store. She spent
many years selling books,writing
reviews, conducting book groups and
most importantly reading.
Jory made a career change and went in
to healthcare. It was a good move
because the day she was diagnosed with
inflammatory breast cancer was the day
that nothing else mattered but family
and living.
She is still going strong. Jory lives
one day at a time and enjoys life with
her husband John, daughter Jessica,
granddaughter Salem, and her 2 dogs
Duke and Lenny. Life is Good.
