Sylvia M. Lee was born and raised on a rural farm in Massachusetts where her story begins. It chronicles the highlights of her life through high school, college, world travels, career, family, and health challenges. After many years as a Registered Principal for a small stock brokerage firm and work in the life insurance industry, she became a litigation paralegal in a large Honolulu law firm for eighteen years, followed by eleven years as a private contract paralegal specializing in large document litigation cases. She has traveled far and wide, taken up painting and Hawaiian quilting as hobbies, and reads voraciously. She lives with her husband, son, cat, birds and turtles in Honolulu, Hawaii.
