About the Author
Linda Habib, a native Manhattanite, living in Fairfield County, CT for the past thirteen years, is a divorced, working mother of two (now twenty-something) children. As with so many working parents, she has found there is little time to spare, but much shopping to do to meet the family's needs, even now, a factor in the creation of this book.
She is an Assistant Principal at one of New York City's largest high schools. A graduate of Hunter College, she holds a Master of Arts in English and a Professional Certificate in Administration and Supervision. In her rare leisure time, she enjoys gardening, rollerblading, aerobic walking, movies, and shopping!
This is her first book.
