Jolainne BoRienne has recently retired from a wonderful profession where she has had the privilege of working as a teacher with a variety of elementary and preschool age children for almost twenty-five years. She is also the survivor of childhood abuse, but that no longer defines who she is. She lives with her husband in a suburban Long Island community where they raised four independent and loving children. Her hobbies are reading, drawing, painting, writing poetry, working on puzzles, and traveling.
