My Perfect Little Secret
Rebecca Glenski Coppage struggled with an eating disorder from the time she was twelve until young adulthood. Now thriving and healthy, she is a pediatric intensive care unit nurse, a position in which she has experienced everything from being thrown up on to taking care of the sickest kids in the Midwest. She is due to receive the degree of Acute/Chronic Care Pediatric Nurse Practitioner from Rush University in 2012.  Additionally, Rebecca has provided medical services on several mission trips to the Dominican Republic, where she helped operate on patients with birth defects as well as on burn victims. As a college student, she lived in Ecuador for a summer, finessing her Spanish. Other early experiences that shaped her perspective were training at the Olympic Training Center in Lake Placid for figure skating during high school, and training as a gymnast rigorously for eleven years. She also lived in a cabin with twelve 13-year-old girls as a camp counselor, which provided further insight into the teenage psyche. Rebecca credits her husband and daughter with adding great joy to her life, and they eagerly await the arrival of the newest member of their family at the end of the year. My Perfect Little Secret is Rebecca Glenski Coppage’s debut novel.
