Synopsis "Broken Butterflies (in English)"
Debra Lowry loved to read from a very early age. She read all of the "Nancy Drew Mysteries", as well as just about any book she could get her hands on! She grew up in Davenport, Iowa. She attended The University of Iowa, where she majored in journalism. She later moved to Miami, Florida, and worked on the Miami Herald Newspaper for two years. In 2008 Debra wrote a column for the 'Pineapple Post Newspaper' in Jensen Beach, Florida. She did a lot of human interest stories, interviews with local people, and some investigative articles. She was a single mother for many years and raised an outstanding son, Chris Lowry, who went on to join the Army and went to Iraq three times during the years of 2003-2009. (He drove the first Humvee into Iraq! Fortunately, Debra did not find this out until later.) It was very harrowing for her and her son but fortunately, he came home safely and is now the father of three delightful children, two girls, ages 4 and 6, and a boy, age 8. Chris is an excellent, devoted father who now lives in Phoenix, Arizona, and Debra hope to move to Arizona soon. Debra has suffered from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for many years (CFS is an illness that causes a very low immune system, but has learned to live with and around it). Writing is one of the most important joys and therapies for her.
