Rebecca Wenrich WheelerRebecca Wenrich Wheeler was raised in West Point, a small town in the Tidewater region of Virginia. From the moment she submitted her first short story to a young author's contest in second grade, Rebecca knew she wanted to be a writer. Her love of witing led her to earn a BA in English and an MEd in English education. She spent several years as a high school teacher, where she also developed a passion for mental health promotion. Rebecca completed an MA in professional counseling, and now serves as an elementary school counselor and a college adjunct psychology instructor. Rebecca also teaches yoga for the young and the young at heart, and she likes to infuse yoga and breath work in her counseling practice wherever she can. She believes the most valuable use of her time is to teach youth how to love and care for each other and the world around them. Her stories share this focus on positive relationships and a love of nature. Rebecca now lives in Durham, North Carolina, with her husband, two children, and a spoiled Siamese cat.
