HinsleyFord

Hinsley Ford was raised within the transparent walls of an oxygen tent, and spent weeks at a time in various hospitals due to a severe immune disorder. She had no tutor and was completely responsible for her education. At the age of 12, she knew she had to begin living life without dripping condensation and a steady influx of clean air. She went on to earn her education from Johns Hopkins, Mount Holyoke, Columbia and Harvard. Her career including teaching English and Lit at the middle, high school and college level.

Life in the oxygen tent made her fiercely independent, sensitive, hopeful, and above all a keen observer of people and events. Now, at the age of 36, she is writing more than ever. Since she is primarily homebound with a disability, she has the time to read and write that many yearn for. She hopes others gain interest in her clean, witty writing style, her opinions on current events and health, and her unusual, inspirational life.
