Cathy LaGrow learned in 2006 the secret her grandmother Minka Disbrow had been carrying for almost eighty years -- that she'd given up a baby, "Betty Jane," for adoption long ago. Cathy's mother, Dianna, is Minka's second child, born nearly eighteen years after Betty Jane. Cathy is author of the blog Windows and Paper Walls and has been published in Chicken Soup for the New Mom's Soul. She and her husband, Dan, have two sons and live in Oregon, where Cathy is often found in the kitchen baking or curled up in a chair reading. The Waiting is her debut book.
