J. C. Villegas
<p>J.C. Villegas was born and raised in the South, spending most of her days in Mississippi. Since childhood she has been a strong advocate seeking justice and the humane treatment of animals and people. Throughout her lifetime she has seen and experienced a great deal of prejudice, more often administered in minute ways as opposed to the grand gestures of hatred we hear about almost daily in the news. No matter the size of the gesture, she has seen how prejudice affects people on a personal and family level, as well as how it affects our society. Although she has been described as a natural storyteller, J.C. Villegas had not planned on writing a book. But as strange as it may seem this story came to her in a dream. She did not act on the dream immediately. In fact it took almost nine months of continually having this persisting and strengthening dream before she took action. With this actionJourney of a Cotton Blossom was born through her.</p>
