Bonni Brodnick is author of Pound Ridge Past: Remembrances of Our Townsfolk and is a columnist for the Bedford/Pound Ridge Record-Review. She has written for Glamour and House & Garden magazines, The Los Angeles Herald Examiner Sunday section, Bedford Magazine, Greenwich Magazine and Children's Television Workshop. She is director of communications at a prep school in Connecticut and editor-in-chief of the school magazine. (Please see BonniBrodnick.com for articles, columns, her appearance about parental snooping on ABC-TV "Good Morning America," and other quips and opinionations.)

When Bonni was 4 years old, she awakened from a nap with crossed-eyes, and wore an eye patch for many years. Although she sees straight now, it is this optical “flaw” which she believes made her see things, at an early age, from a different perspective. Double vision (without the patch) made life twice as colorful, though slightly askew.

Brodnick lives in the beautiful countryside of Pound Ridge, New York, a town that is often referred to as “God’s Country.” It is here that she and her husband, Andrew, raised their two lovely children who are thriving 20-somethings.
