Lynn Cook Betz
In 2011, Lynn Cook Betz and her husband, Thom, were ready to live their retirement dream on the sea in North Carolina. Learning that shrimp boats passing by had a past that concealed nefarious cargo—too irresistible to ignore—Lynn took the bait and dove into the murky water. Extensive research and over one hundred interviews resulted in this book.
True to a child of the sixties, with a degree in sociology-anthropology and a master’s degree in social work, Lynn’s passion for understanding others and their worlds led to careers in hospital social work and administration. As an entrepreneur channeling her love of people and environment, Lynn and Thom’s company was first to develop a USDA-certified organic personal care brand. The joys and dramas of living are all cooked into this book.
A God-moment led Lynn to this story. Maybe it was serendipity? The truth: Dale Varnam had everything to do with it!
