Details

Audrey Austin's Ellen and The Hummingtree is the fictional memoir of Ellen Dawson, a composite of many beautiful, spiritual women Audrey has known. The book explores many social issues including child abandonment, deadbeat dads, separation and divorce, single parenting, financial struggle, family relationships, infidelity, grandparents raising children, love online, empty-nesters, aging, women’s issues, Alzheimer’s, death and dying.

This book is a collaboration with Audrey's daughter, artist Susan Krupp, who not only created the beautiful cover design but also all the illustrations throughout the book.

In the meanwhile, Susan and Audrey are honing their acting skills, as they will be re-enacting a chapter from Ellen and The Hummingtree, one which will be entertaining. Afterward the book signing will take place.
