About A. Embry Burrus, MCD, CC/SLP

Embry is the author of Mama and Margaret, a heartwarming, honest and funny book about Embry's sister Margaret, who was born with Down syndrome, and her mother, Augusta. The story takes the reader through the tense moments after Margaret's birth, the challenges she faced as a child, and her awe-inspiring life as an adult, including a jam-packed social calendar,
colorful friends and numerous accomplishments. The reader also gets to know Mama, in all her exquisite southernness, whose emotional, quirky and sometimes hilarious relationship with Margaret provides an underlying current throughout each chapter.

Embry is a licensed speech pathologist and spends her days doing clinical teaching with graduate students in the Department of Communication Disorders at Auburn. Embry has always enjoyed writing, whether letters to friends (and now e-mail), diaries, journals or simple notes to herself. She also enjoys storytelling and has been relating stories about her family for many years. Mama and Margaret is her first attempt at actually writing them down. She has been published in ByLine, Lake Martin Living and the Birmingham Arts Journal.
