Overview

Deborah Elizabeth was a little girl who retreated to her hiding places where she found not only safety from abuse, but a place where her imagination took her into her own world of happiness. Her bicycle capers on Tybee Island took her to her favorite hiding places within the sand dunes where she became a Pirate Princess unnoticed within the sea oats, building forts and spying on unsuspecting passersby who strolled the shores. Her nocturnal senses came alive, especially when the moon provided an eerie passageway for her to explore the island without being hindered by authoritative figures.

Author Information

Deborah Elizabeth Merriman was born into a world where social classes and a dysfunctional family unfavorably altered her earliest years. Whether she was abandoned or kidnapped (the truth will never be resolved), she migrated in and out of more than thirty homes during her childhood. Although her paternal grandparents played a significant role in childhood, she endured emotional and physical abuse from caregivers and a step-mother. As an adult, she donates her time to Habitat for Humanity, the American Red Cross, and Salvation Army Flood Reliefs, Empty Stocking Fund, Bethesda Home for Boys, Thornwell Home and School for Children, and various youth-at-risk institutions; she is a recipient of the Lee Burge Community Service Award. Hiding Places: A Memoir from the Pirate Princess of Tybee Island is Deborah Elizabeth's inaugural book publication.
