A crisis never makes a character, it just reveals it.

We are not placed on this Earth to see through each other... But to see each other through.

Carlotta McKnight
At the age of seventy-three, stands as the eldest among seven siblings, raised in the countryside within the confines of a conservative faith. Her journey into writing began in childhood, a secret endeavor, as she fearfully discarded her works to keep her thoughts hidden from the world. Her educational journey in a quaint Indiana school introduced her to Ruby Nay, an exceptional English teacher who saw potential in Carlotta beyond the conservative horizons, assuring her that a vast world awaited her discovery.
Adulthood brought new adventures and with it, a pivotal trip to the ocean alongside her sister to visit her brother and his family. This experience rekindled her passion for writing, leading to the creation of Ocean Secrets, her first published work. That solitary day by the ocean marked the beginning of Carlotta& path toward healing.

That solitary day by the ocean marked the beginning of Carlotta& path toward healing.
Embraced by the gentle ocean breeze, she experienced a profound spiritual awakening, using the elements—the ocean, sands, wind, and its inherent beauty—as conduits for releasing her pent-up sadness.
Over time, Carlotta& writing became a therapeutic tool, aiding her in mourning her past and navigating her future. She grew to embrace and respect nature, drawing inspiration from its bounty. Carlotta& writings are not just expressions of personal growth but also testaments to the transformative power of nature and the enduring strength of the human spirit to overcome and evolve the one I graduated from to become a Medical Assistant was a small Medical and Dental College, and is no longer in business. Over the years I have attended University of Indianapolis, and IUPU in Indianapolis. My husband also attended both of those colleges. I worked at a Family Practice Residency in Indianapolis for 13 years as well as some private offices prior to that. We married quite young eighteen and twenty-two and I was a mother at 19 years old, way too young. My husband was drafted in the Army in 1968, went to Viet Nam, and later retired from the Army Reserves. He was employed at Eli Lilly and Company, a pharmaceutical company in Indianapolis where he retired after 35 years. In 2003 I designed the home we now live in and had a blueprint done with a local architecture. We hired a private local builder to build our home. We moved to the country area where we grew up as teenager’s. As far as any other personal information we just do not want it out there.
