Anne Hobson Freeman was born in Richmond, Virginia, in 1934, and has spent most of her life there, writing and raising their three children with her late husband, George C. Freeman, Jr. She has published essays and short stories in national magazines, as well as two business biographies and a smattering of poetry, but her favorite form is semi-autobiographical fiction which you will see in some of the stories in her book, The Girl Who Was No Kin to the Marshalls and Other Stories.
