Författare: Leila Peters

Leila Peters received her bachelors and masters degrees at Butler University where she met Suzie, the woman she loved. They were both teachers. In their thirty-five years together they traveled, bought a farm and raised Arabian horses, and found a dream cabin in Montana. Until In Spite of Everything became her passion, she wrote magazine articles about the things she loved: farm life, nature, and horses. She has been published in Outdoor Indiana, The Western Horseman, The Writers Center of Indianapolis periodical, Flying Island, and Teacher Magagine. It was Suzies death that prompted the writing of their story which became the catalist for gathering stories of other women who have been in loving relationships for nineteen years or more. Leila still lives on the farm she and Suzie bought in 1970 and loves to ride and walk over the land. She also spends time at her cabin in Montana in the summer, where she does much of her writing. After living alone for seventeen years she was blessed for the second time with a wonderful woman. Another chapter begins.
