Bio
A Baby Boomer born near Chicago into a noble Hungarian family, Letha’s parents were distant cousins. Before the age of one she developed pneumonia with a high fever and went into a coma. Her mother, also named Letha, sat by her daughter’s side, giving her strength and love and eventually noticed her baby smiling. “She is singing with the angels,” the mother told the doctor. In her twenties, Letha performed opera. On a concert tour in Europe, Letha had a nervous collapse and had a vision that saved her life and changed her path from music to natural health. Letha became a nationally certified acupuncturist in the USA and traveled throughout Asia studying and working in Chinese hospitals and Thai jungles. Letha’s mother, now 91, illustrates her health books with lovely herbal drawings. Letha, her husband, author Michael Foster, and their two cats live in Manhattan, summer in Vermont and winter in Miami.
