Gutierrez has written short stories and books most of her life, this is the first book she has published. She is a retired Family Practice Physician, who was born and mostly raised in New Mexico and now lives in Denver, Colorado. She completed a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology with honors and graduated from the University of New Mexico Medical School. She then moved to Massachusetts to complete her residency in Family Practice, taught there for two years then moved to Colorado.
Her studies and practice focused on women's rights, family dynamics, sexual abuse, domestic violence and caring for underserved populations, homeless families, immigrants, and addicts. Through the years she has learned there is no "type" of person who abuses and abusers are the best at denying the damage they do. Families are always complex, but the interactions of abused, or the mix of abused and not abused children, is nearly an impossible tangle.
She married and divorced young, then worked her way through college. After returning to the Southwest, she worked with the underserved at Denver Community Health Clinic until physically incapacitated to work by Fibromyalgia. A sexual abuse survivor herself, depression complicated her illness. She is a fan of literary books that explore families as well as the more abstract approach to human dynamics in the fantasy and science fiction genres. Other interests include painting in watercolor and pastels, and learning to sing and play the guitar. Her living companions are her cats, a chubby female, shorthair tortie rescue, and a red, short-haired tabby male, a delightful fellow that adopted her.visualizza meno
