Daydream 4: Mama Girl & The Light

Dreaming In Color with Nancey B. Price

In this Daydream minisode, writer Roe Braddy shares a story about a teenager and her otherworldly bond with her father.

Roe Braddy, a playwright, retired teacher, and Pittsburgh native, uses her writing to bring readers into her characters' experiences. She first brought us into the lives of the children living with disabilities and their teachers in her first novella, "A Seat on the Playground." In her Emma Award-winning novel, The Warm Heart of Steele, she draws from her childhood in the "Steel City" and from the stories she heard many times while growing up in Pittsburgh's Hill District. Roe also has a passion for theatre. "A Warm Heart of Steele" was adapted into a live stage production produced and performed in a local community theatre in Harrisburg, PA. She has also written and produced two other stage productions. Roe is also the author of three Christian historical fiction romance novellas, Scarred, Surrendered and Wading. Roe enjoys writing children's stories that teach life lessons; she has self-published two children's picture books, The Red Box of Marbles which also has a curriculum guide for public schools. She has also published a bible-based children's picture book, "The Royal Storyteller." She also likes to write stories about the Civil Rights era and poetry with social justice themes. Roe lives in Pennsylvania with her husband.
