Writing Relieves the Soul
Deborah Grate Frink was born December 16, 1972 on a small farm in Loris, South Carolina. She is the last seedling of thirteen children. At an early age, Deborah had to learn to focus on the today and let the tomorrows tend to the future. As she grew up, she was exposed to nothing but mere farm work. From sun up until sun down, her family and she had to work in the fields during the hot, parching summers. As her mother gathered the family together with her famous chicken bog, Deborah's throbbing soul began to heal as she listened to her family members crack jokes and tell stories about their past experiences. Despite the learning discrepancy between her home and school life, ordeals did not hinder her mental growth. She sheltered herself in the grasp of her family. All her life, she read or heard about the great explorers who discovered new land, gaining great riches. But in her mind, she only wanted to gain enough wealth to quench her thirst and feed her hunger, not just for food, but for the knowledge to prevail over misery.
Deborah graduated from Coastal Carolina University with a B.A. in education. She currently holds a position as a teacher with Horry County School District. After graduating from Coastal Carolina University in 1997, Deborah furthered her education at Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where she will receive a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction: Literacy, reading, and writing in August 2005. In addition to the novel, Blinded by Colors, she has three poems published in an Anthology called Letters to the Soul and another poem that received honorable mention in a poetry contest.
