1913-2000

Julia Truitt Yenni, born in Birmingham, Alabama, embarked on a journey that led her from various locations to her eventual settling in Cambridge, Massachusetts. After graduating from high school at a young age, Yenni pursued higher education at Lincoln Memorial University before relocating to New York City. While working as a secretary and attending night classes at Columbia University, she began her writing career. Yenni's novels were published during her time in Chicago and New York, and she continued to write articles and stories for women's magazines even after her last novel was published. Later in life, she resided in Pine Grove, Pennsylvania, where she contributed a weekly column to the local newspaper. Eventually, Yenni moved to Cambridge to be closer to her adult children, where she remained until her passing in 2000.
