"By the fifth grade I was reading constantly. I also played soccer (which I liked) and piano (which I didn’t). I loved helping my mom in the kitchen and going outside at night to look at the stars.”
"I got my first pair of jeans in the fifth grade, which I loved. My mom made me hand them over on laundry days but otherwise, I wore them constantly.”
Kerley grew up in Virginia. She went to college in Chicago and studied English. After college she joined the Peace Corps and went to Nepal to teach English, Math and Science. She also hiked part way up Mount Everest with some friends. When she moved back to the United States, she got a job as a Cinnamon Roll queen at a huge bakery. Later, she and her husband moved to Guam. During their time on the island, Barbara taught English and she and her husband learned to scuba dive. They also had a baby girl named Anna. When Anna was eight months old, they left Guam and moved to California.
