The Tempest: Frederick House

Buy My Book -- Finishing Well

"I am the youngest child of the union of Emmett and Betty Dunnevant, a title that for most of my life has been my biggest claim to fame. My parents' story is an extraordinary tale which cannot be told quickly. Suffice it to say that from extremely humble beginnings, two children who grew up in Buckingham County, Virginia, first found each other, then found love, then busied themselves with the adventure of raising a family on a shoestring. In this, they were not at all unique. Many of their generation, born in the 1920's, did exactly the same thing. Yet talk to anyone who knew them, and you will hear the same story. My mom and dad were different. There was something luminescent about the arc of their lives that attracted others to them. For all of my life, they have been the sun around which all of my family revolved—my dad the sturdy dependable rock, my mom the brilliant unpredictable force. Everything changed on June 30, 2012, when my mother died in her sleep.”
