Harper, Virginia M. (1956- )
Virginia M. Harper lived the first
seven years of her life in
Chile where her family had the luxury of going
to markets every day for fresh food. When they immigrated to the
United States, the family fell into the typical
American way of eating convenient, refined foods from the supermarket. By the
time Virginia was eleven, she had developed digestive
problems; at nineteen, she was diagnosed with a rare blood disease called
Takayasu and suffered a stroke. She was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at
twenty-two and treated with drugs. At twenty-three, she learned about
macrobiotics which means eating locally grown organic foods. She quickly began
to improve and found she could live a normal life without drugs or surgery.
Harper founded The Ki of Life Foundation to help others with chronic diseases
find assistance with healthy living. Drawing from her personal health
experiences, she wrote her book.

Harris, Margaret Killiffer (1904

Margaret Killiffer lived in Franklin as a child when her father was Rector of
St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. Later the family moved to Monterey, Tennessee,
where the church had a mission. Her parents gave her both the analytical skills
of education and the ability to love the good in the world. When she married
Luther Harris, a young mountain farmer, she used these skills to encourage him
both to appreciate the mountain life which was his heritage and to move his life
to a position of helping others of his community as a state rehabilitation
officer. Margaret Harris was able to love her life on the Cumberland Plateau and
yet see it as an outsider might. In 1961 she asked a friend to help write about
an old relative. The result was an account of one mountain woman’s life around
which the authors clustered many oral histories from family and community in
Overton County, Tennessee.

Hullett, Robert
Bobby Hullett was born in Nashville and has lived in Williamson County since 1979. He spent 7 years in private and public education before moving back into the corporate business environment. Bobby holds a BBA in Marketing and a Masters in Education Supervision and Administration. He is also an active entrepreneur. Ethics Everyday is his first published work in a series currently in production. EE was created to serve not only as a metacognitive reflection tool to discover why we think the way we think, but as a device to reset and calibrate our moral compasses. Bobby resides in Brentwood.
