A New York native, Marjorie Waters lives and works in Boston, Massachusetts. In addition to being a frequent contributor to literary and popular magazines, she has written one longer work, The Victory Garden Kids' Book (1988), now out of print but which has developed a small following. For example, the web site "Education World Page" lists The Victory Garden as a resource on its "Grow a Garden of Opportunity!" web site, which explains how classroom gardens can provide lessons in science, history, math, and poetry. Waters wrote the preface to Native American Gardening: Stories, Projects and Recipes for Families, by Michael J. Caduto and Joseph Bruchac, and her work is included in Other Sides of Silence: An Anthology of Ploughshares Fiction, edited by DeWitt Henry.

Dealing with Grief

From the site: "When you've suffered a loss such as the death of a loved one, divorce or any other painful or permanent change in your life, you may wonder how you can carry on in such pain. How can you get through the work day and get your job done? It helps to remember that grieving is a process. In time, grief heals."
