Gladys Simmons Carson is an inspirational speaker and an award-winning author. For more than 45 years she has challenged and encouraged audiences with her message of assurance. In her memoir, “Triumph! A Battle Plan for Joy” she gives insight into how you too can choose joy despite your circumstances.
Her passion for writing stems from an early introduction to the written word. By age three she was reading her older siblings’ school books. By age four she was introduced to her first novel, Betty Smith’s “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.”
This early exposure gave birth to a love affair with books and a fascination for writing. By the time she reached adult status, she had evolved into a natural encourager with a wealth of information to share, and a zeal for sharing.
