Becky Adams

Becky Adams grew up in a small New England town, the oldest of three daughters. She learned to read in kindergarten and has loved books ever since. Her favorite childhood pastimes were climbing trees and reading books; sometimes reading books in trees.

Becky graduated summa cum laude from the University of Rhode Island in December 1990, earning her Master's degree from Rhode Island College in January 1994. Neither of her degrees had a focus on literature. Nevertheless, Becky dreamed of writing a novel; her home became littered with unfinished manuscripts. Full-time employment, marriage, and children took priority over finishing her works.

In 2017, Becky's 16-year-old son Matthew died from suicide. Shattered by the loss of her precious child, Becky was faced with the task of reinventing her life. Writing her first novel allowed her to cope with the loss of Matt and regain her enjoyment of life. A second novel followed within a year. In 2022, Becky wrote a nonfiction "Companion for Grieving Parents," to share ideas, feelings, and way to cope with the loss of a child. Becky believes that life is long: make the best of it, make it count!
