About Author: Independent scholar and author Martha Lou Perritti began her writing career when most people start thinking about slowing down. She was 50 years old when she ventured into writing and book publishing. Her first works were popular cookbooks. Cooking Our Way (Morris Press) was published in 1993. A second cookbook was written and published again by Morris Press in 1998, 1999 titled, Martha Lou?s Kitchen. But it wasn?t until Perritti moved to quiet Pine Island, Florida that she began her first historical novel. The story was about her father who lived to be 101. After several years of research and writing, she published Crossing in the Rain (Lifestyles Press). The story about Perritti?s father fascinated not only her readers but came as a revelation to many of her family members. Martha Lou discovered her father had several families, and that she had 13 siblings instead of the nine brothers and sisters in her family. In Crossing in the Rain we meet each of those families.
