WorksIn the historical fiction genre, Woolley wrote the Guinevere trilogy, about King Arthur's wife, Guinevere. This trilogy comprises Child of the Northern Spring (1987), Queen of the Summer Stars (1990) and The Legend in Autumn (1993). Her non-fiction work includes two books on divorce, Creative Survival for Single Mothers (1974) and The Custody Handbook (1979).[2] Personal lifeWoolley grew up in Auburn, California as the only child of Lois and William Higman.[1] She studied architecture at University of California, Berkeley, and married James P. Woolley, an engineer in 1956. They had two children before divorcing in 1958; Woolley's experience as a single mother led her to write her first two books, Creative Survival for Single Mothers (1974) and The Custody Handbook (1979).[1] She married Dr. Edwjard Garwin in 1978.[3] Persia Woolley died October 3, 2017, in Sebastopol, CA, USA, at the age of eighty one.[4] References1. ^1 2 {{cite book|first=Laura C.|last=Lambdin|author2=Robert T.
