November 17, 2005 Kathleen Grissom was born and educated in Saskatchewan, Canada. Soon after, she left to live and work, first in Montreal, then in Manhattan, but it wasn’t until she moved with her husband to a farm in rural Virginia that she finally found her home. There, while restoring an old plantation tavern, operating an herb farm, running a tearoom and raising Cashmere goats, she began to write a narrative of her past and present life.
In the years to follow, the memoir was interrupted when, while researching the history of her antebellum home, she discovered a notation on an old map. It read: Negro Hill. Unable to determine the story of its origin, local historians suggested that it most likely represented a tragedy. To this day Kathleen is uncertain why the notation captured her so, but fascinated, she gradually set aside everything else to pursue the research and writing of a story that insisted it be told. Kathleen is presently completing her memoir while continuing on with research for her next work of fiction, based on the true life of Crow Mary.
