About the author

Deborah Takiff Smith is an American writer whose memoir Stories of a Life: Where I Came from and How I Got to Where I Am presents her life as beginning at the end of World War II in Elizabeth, New Jersey, then unfolding through the Vietnam era, the women’s movement, and later life in Manhattan and Washington, DC.

Library and bookselling records also show a long connection to public-interest and educational writing. She is credited with Computers on the Farm and with Nutrition: Eating for Good Health, including one edition that names her as editor and project manager.

Taken together, those works suggest a writer comfortable moving between personal storytelling and practical nonfiction, with a focus on making information useful and readable for everyday people.
