 Read our interview by Nancy MehlRead our review of Girl in Hyacinth Blue Susan Vreeland’s first book What Love Sees (1996) is the true story of Jean Treadway's unwavering determination to lead a normal life despite blindness. To this end, she leaves her sheltered, wealthy New England home and marries Forrest Holly, also blind, a struggling rancher in a remote California mountain town. The book was made into a CBS television movie starring Richard Thomas and Annabeth Gish. It can be ordered in large print from Amazon.com and in unabridged audio tape from Recorded Books. Her short fiction has appeared in The Missouri Review, New England Review, Confrontation, Alaska Quarterly Review, Calyx, Crescent Review, So To Speak and other journals. She received Inkwell Magazine's Grand Prize for Fiction in 1999, and one of the stories in Girl in Hyacinth Blue was nominated for a Pushcart Award in 1998. She has taught high school English in San Diego public schools since 1969, and ceramics since 1986. Her student writing handbook, What English Teachers Want is used in high schools and community colleges in many states. |
