Donna D. Wolf was born and raised in Southern California. The oldest of 5 adopted children, she majored in Communications and earned her BA at California State University Fullerton. Starting in the Newspaper business, she soon transitioned into healthcare where she spent the last 23 years of her career in senior management. Her promising career was ended suddenly with an acquired brain injury and subsequent loss of all her communication, physical and motor skills. After being bedridden, 3 years of rehabilitation, and starting over with the skills of a near infant, she fought her way against the odds of an illness in which the ninety-five percent of those afflicted die. Through self determination and hard work, Donna studied and learned about the healing properties of gemstones as well as jewelry making. This book highlights some of her jewelry designs and the people she has met along her journey of discovering the SILVER LINING in her own personal tragedy.
