Marianne Nettina has had a love for the written word for as long as she can recall. She took trips to the library as a child, was editor of her high school newspaper, and even kept a journal while undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer. Putting thoughts into written words has been a tool she has used over the years, whether in her career as a nurse practitioner or as a mom when composing the annual Christmas poem.Now in her new role as grandmother, she is returning to her comfort zone by writing a book for and about her Sydney Anne. She hopes this book demonstrates the amazing love she has come to know in this new phase of her life. She is also planning to write additional episodes in the life of Sydney Anne.
