I. M. Ramsey

I.M. Ramsey has worked in a variety of roles in counseling, teaching, and administration at the collegiate level and feels very fortunate to have spent her entire professional career in academia. She retired in December of 2017 from teaching and her position as Vice President of Instruction (VPI), Chief Academic Officer (CAO) at Walla Walla Community College. Her primary research interest has focused on the impact of empathy and forgiveness and the relational dynamics between perpetrators and those who extend forgiveness to them.
 

My Mother Told Me Stories, is her first novel with the story based upon the themes found in her South African research of apartheid political perpetrators who received empathy and forgiveness from family members of their victims. I.M. Ramsey lives in Washington State and enjoys spending time with her husband, their daughters, sons-in-law, and three grandsons, a.k.a. “the three scampering squirrels.”
