About the Author Author, Tui Rose, began listening to handy hints on the radio in New Zealand since the age of 10, before the family on a dairy farm got TV. As a married woman, she and her husband were avid gardeners and landscapers. Neighbors and weekend drivers would drive slowly by and even stop to admire and photograph their garden scene, a little paradise. Tui was tragically widowed in her early 30 s and left to raise two young children as a single mother. She worked as a registered nurse, having broad experience for over 35 years. Tui is widely travelled, having been accepted for the prestigious position of private nurse for Lady Winston Churchill in London from 1972 to 1973. When Tui, sustained a spinal cord injury requiring surgeries 15 years ago, she could no longer work in her trained capacity, so turned her attention to prevention by drawing upon her medical knowledge and experience to research non-toxic alternatives in her goal to provide a series of books for her upcoming "Wholesome Living Collection." Preventing illness and disease, and making life easy, safe, natural and thrifty is her prime focus. Tui is also author of an Amazon 5-star book and multiple times publisher s best monthly seller titled: "Going Green Using Diatomaceous Earth How-To Tips." She is the first author in the world to write a consumer book on this subject, a companion book to natural, non-toxic gardening.
