Deborah LiveseyDeborah Livesey, a native New Englander, attended Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts, the town from which she borrowed Round Hill Road. Deborah was a systems analyst before becoming active in electoral politics. Serving as an Executive Direcor of the King County Democrats (Seattle, WA), Deborah was selected to be a delegate to the Democratic National Convention in 1988. After the new millennium, she moved with her husband, Malcolm Cumming, to Whidbey Island, Washington. Debilitating Multiple Sclerosis forced Deborah into an early retirement. While losing her ability to type or speak, Deborah used ASL to spell this story, letter-by-letter, to Malcolm and her good friend, Debbie Larsen, who took turns transcribing and editing her tale into the written words of this book. The effort for Deborah to tell her story through the eyes of Deirdre Lincoln took 6 years. Deborah passed away a little over a year after completing this story-telling project, perhaps hastened by the unwelcome installation two weeks later of a President for whom she did not vote.
