A natural Southern lady herself, Helen M. Martin spent many years reading avidly and teaching just the same before writing about a woman in the South. Martin grew up in Gainesville, went to school at Brenau University and stayed around as a teacher and assistant principal for 40 years in the Gainesville City School system. Now in her retirement, she turned her writing hobby into a labor of love with her novel, “From the Dust of Death.”
