Debbie Simpson lives with her husband in the Midwest. A mom and a grandma, she has a bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. She's been an avid promoter of celiac awareness since being diagnosed with celiac disease in 2000. This passion was almost instant once she experienced the impact of a gluten free diet after a lifetime of health issues. Combining her passions of children and celiac awareness, she authored, 'Adam's Gluten Free Surprise: Helping Others Understand Gluten Free' (and the identical girls' version, 'Hailey's Gluten Free Surprise') a children's book that is not just for kids. She wrote this book to give children with special diets a positive role model, and more, to help teachers, grandparents, and other important adults in the lives of gluten free children understand how strict this diet is. And now, as you can surely understand after reading 'The Syrup Maze, ' she hopes to also find a way to help increase awareness and understanding of gluten free and other special diets in hospitals and other medical facilities. Shouldn't this already be in place See less
