ABOUT JUDY

Judy Pearson is the author of magazine and newspaper articles that have appeared around the country, and two non-fiction books showcasing ordinary people exhibiting extraordinary courage. Belly of the Beast: A POW's Inspiring True Story of Faith, Courage and Survival is the emotionally charged story about a naval corpsman turned POW.
