A Book Forty Years in the Making
Anna Danzer, the author, was raised in Hagerstown, Maryland, and graduated from Smith College with a BA in English and Wellesley College with a master’s in English. While at Smith, she was president of the literary magazine. Anna started her career as a local reporter for her hometown newspaper and later became a research analyst for the House Special Committee on Un-American Activities. She continued writing and editing manuscripts and technical manuals for defense contractors, literary magazines, and consulting agencies. She resided in both Cambridge and Carlisle, Massachusetts. She died in 2006.
Anna Whitcomb brings RiverRock to life.
Anna Whitcomb, the editor and author’s daughter, was raised in Cambridge, attended Green Mountain College and received a BS from the University of Vermont. She additionally earned an MPA and CAGS in counseling from Suffolk University. She’s helping to fulfill her mother’s legacy by having Riverrock, a book more than 40 years in the making, finally published.
As part of my commitment to non-profit organizations that support women, children and families, I have included charitable organizations that I will donate to from the sale of Riverrock: A New England Family Saga. The donations will fund healing, support, and opportunities for those in harm’s way, and help them to lead more productive lives. Please consider these organizations in your giving.
