A grandmother and hospice volunteer, Hill enjoys enthusiastic audiences whenever she speaks about emotional healing, the importance of personal biography, and the gift of grief. A native of Charlotte, NC, she now lives blissfully in the Western North Carolina mountains.

When she managed public relations for the Tarheel Triad Girl Scout Council, regular presentations were made to United Way organizations to state the Girl Scout case for support. On one presentation, the Girl Scout Council director took along three boxes of Girl Scout cookies for the United Way panel. At the end of her talk, the Girl Scout director was asked, "How much for the cookies?"

Without missing a beat, she answered, "Twenty thousand dollars a box...."

Hill managed public relations for the organ donor department of North Carolina Baptist Hospital, edited a weekly newspaper in Winston-Salem, and worked in public relations for private firms. She studied Special Education at Appalachian State University, then decided that having her own children would satisfy the desire to serve kids. She is the mother of three and the grandmother of the world's most precious children.

My Name As A Prayer is an intimate memoir of the healing journey between Hill and her eccentric mother during the final year of her mother's life. New York Times best-selling author William Forstchen called it, "a must-read!"
