// WriterGWENDA SMITHIES has loved writing ever since she can remember. After finishing university she worked as a technical writer for a company developing GPS navigation systems but her real claim to fame is her subsequent life as the homeschooling mother of a dozen children. Her transformation from small-town introvert, who needed copious quantities of chocolate to get through a working day, to energetic homeschooler of a huge brood, and the remarkable highlights and hijinks along the way, is documented in her autobiography ‘One Rich Girl’.
