People and characters interest S. Leigh Hall: what they believe, what they learn, and how they survive. She admits her desire for knowledge of the church began as a child when she agreed to attend with anyone who said, “Do you want to go to church with us?” As a freshman in college, the Catholic Church became her home and later, the place where her career as an educator found its best purpose as she taught journalism and English to middle school and high school students. Service as principal of a large Catholic elementary school added to her spiritual journey and fortified her love for non-fiction in the form of memoirs or biographies. Such books satisfy her thirst for knowing characters and what motivates them. Stories of personal achievement or survival especially through suffering represent for S. Leigh Hall the link of humanity to the sufferings of Jesus Christ as described by St. Paul in the Acts of the Apostles. Fiction with strong character development especially regarding young adults is also welcome. Follow S. Leigh Hall's writing & photography on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/photographerandauthor/
