Short Biography:
Mary Lee had grown up in the poverty of a West Virginia coal mining town. And as such she’d seen the desperate need for medical help in the area that seemed much forgotten as the government took care of poverty around the world, but not in its own backyard. And in that void, she watched friends and loved ones die for lack of care.
So, the young Mary Lee had worked hard and been the first person in her family to ever go to college – John’s Hopkins to be precise. She’d done her research and had known that it had the best undergraduate nursing program in the nation. Her BSN had been paid for in scholarships, but her goal had come to fruition a few years later when she’d been accepted into Frontier Nursing University where she’d gathered a pair of Master’s Degrees – Woman’s Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner.
After graduating top in her class, yet again, Mary Lee had headed back home and started working with the desperately sick and poor all through the Appalachians. However, when the assorted flu viruses and then worse struck, she’d been relatively safe for the lack of people in the area.
The winter had been hard, and she’d heard an occasional rumor on the old ham radio that there might be a safe haven in Delaware. It had taken the better part of six months for her to make it across the bridge in Virginia only to have walkers in every direction show up. So, she’d taken refuge on the Assateague island where she’d wait or die.
