The Chinese Chest

Born and raised in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, Theresa Jenner Garrido spent the first eight years of her life in a rural setting on an island in Puget Sound, off the coast of Washington State. She attended the University of Washington, received a B.A. in English, and spent the next twenty-plus years teaching middle school language arts, social studies, and drama before an ＂early＂ retirement. Now Theresa is happy to indulge her wild imagination and passionate love of history and share these foibles and gifts with others, including her husband, her ever-growing family, a rescue pup and the stray black cat who adopted her. Theresa has made her home in Missouri, Georgia, and North Carolina but currently resides in South Carolina. When not at the computer or in the laundry room, she enjoys traveling and poking her nose into strange and mysterious places.
