With The DP Kids and the Big Surprise Talent Show, Thelma brings to life the story of Tee. She is a young girl who reminds us all that kindness is powerful and serving others is a gift, not a chore.
Thelma’s journey as an author began long after her 45-year career in the medical field. But the heart that once healed with touch now uplifts with words.
