Afton Zapata-Scow lives in Mesa, Arizona with her husband, Shaun. She spends much of her time with elementary students, as a teacher, and quality time with her grandchildren reading enriching books and watching them learn and grow.

Afton embraces life by taking a break from the day-to-day routine to travel with her husband and visit many historical sites, National Parks and state capitol buildings.

Afton’s writing career began several years ago when she published a memoir entitled, Enduring Miracles about the effects of an illness on a marriage and family. Afton continued to write about her husband, Juan and his final battle with valley fever in another memoir, Enduring the End. Her latest memoir is called Enduring Grief. Her books can be found on Amazon.

As a wife, mother, grandmother, and teacher, Afton has inspired others to never give up. Her faith in God and family have shaped her into who she is today and hope others with the same encouragement to endure whatever they encounter in their own lives.
