Contributor Bio(s): Beaman, Joyce Proctor: - "Joyce Proctor Beaman, a lifelong resident of Wilson County, was a teacher in the public schools of North Carolina for thirty-five years. Church has been a part of her life for more than twice that length of time - going back to her ""baby-in-a-blanket"" days. Even though she is the author of five previously published hardback books, she felt that this was a book that she just had to write: When you read this book, I believe you will understand why." |
