Don't You Dare

Julia Lyman grew up in southern New Jersey. And like many other little girls, she fantasized about magic, love and the "what if's".¿ Her imagination flourished when enveloped under the willow tree that grew next to her childhood home. Imagining, pretending and most importantly believing one day her tales would bleed into reality.¿ She whisked away to Virginia. Where at the University of Lynchburg where she acquired both bachelor's and master's degrees in public health. She was a proud member of Alpha Chi Omega, an organization that fought back against domestic violence. She loves her friends, Disney, the Philadelphia Eagles and playing with her dog Buzz, who yes, is named after Buzz Lightyear. She is back in New Jersey married to her husband, Andrew. Julia hopes readers will open these pages and embrace the little world that younger her hoped one day others would believe in as well.
