     Rita Durrett graduated from Oklahoma State University with a love for teaching and began a career that spanned over 38 years. Her second passion is writing. Those years in public education gave Rita insight and knowledge about American families, their inner turmoil, instability, and resilient structure. Living in the Midwest exposed her to individuals as unique and inspirational as the land from which they came. Bits and pieces of each of those myriad personalities help her to create memorable characters that come alive on the page.
     Rita lives in Elk City, Oklahoma. She is the mother of two sons and the grandmother of six boys and one girl. When not playing with grandchildren, she travels or does crafting. A reluctant blogger, she enjoys sharing her thoughts on life and information about her publications and projects online.
