I think his reasons are fairly clear. Oh, and fun fact (as I know how much you love them): Harriet Beecher Stowe was his neighbor. What a powerhouse combo!

I'm impressed you had the gumption to do what you did and even more awed by the fact that you tried, through the art of literature, to bring light to something folks should be very aware of. I hope it brought some peace, closure, and litigation for those who erred.

I...I hope I can do this without a BlogSpot account. I want to tell why I used a pseudonym. My book "No Broken Bones" exposed misdeeds of Oregon's child protection agency. I so wanted to name names, but not at the expense of my daughter and granddaughter's privacy. Now that they are older and stronger, Gail Morellen is me and that story is true, true, true. I wish the guilty weren't beyond punishment.Ginney Ethertonhttp://www.ginneyetherton.weebly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-961332566292942537.post-84323591141730625662013-10-09T09:52:04.645-04:002013-10-09T09:52:04.645-04:00I use both my maiden and married name.
