Connie Bombaci, a first-time
author and retired educator, is resolute in her love for animals,
belief in the worthiness of all God’s creations, and desire to
provide encouragement no matter what the challenge. Connie is an
optimist and compassionate person whose Christian faith guides her
to believe in the extreme goodness and immeasurable importance of
every being. Her love for animals began in childhood and developed
from her desire to be kind. She has enjoyed many adopted pets
throughout her lifetime, especially ones that have needed help,
rescuing domestic and wild orphaned, injured, or abandoned animals.
Her desire for others to believe in the value of themselves led her
to become an educator where she worked fervently to increase young
peoples’ confidence and belief in themselves, despite any
difficulty. She offered hope where frustration and failure seemed
inevitable. While serving as a teacher and associate principal in a
Connecticut public school system, she took great pleasure working
within its community, finding it especially fulfilling to encourage
and support her students and coworkers.
Connie grew up in a suburban
neighborhoold outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and now lives
in Connecticut with her husband, Jim, and their two rescued pups in
the rustic, puppy-friendly home that Jim built on their five-acre
"piece of Heaven." She is also surrounded by the love of four
children, son-in-law, ten grandchildren, and five great
grandchildren.
Hogan’s life is a story of success
despite the odds. In her book Connie shares his story and the
message that hope can be found in the kind and generous hearts of
gracious people and that everyone is worthy of love and
acceptance.
