After twelve years on Wall Street, Maureen Sherry - formerly, the youngest Managing Director at Bear Stearns and a Cornell graduate - switched gears to earn her Masters of Fine Arts at Columbia University, to write, and to tutor at inner city schools. Walls Within Walls - her first book, a mystery for middle school audiences - has been awarded curriculum prizes by the states of Texas and Connecticut, and she was named one of the Best New Voices by the American Library Association. Maureen is also an active board member of numerous charities. But Maureen believes her biggest project is raising her four children with her husband which never feels like a job at all.
