Dorothy (Dotty) Teresa Donovan Gonz\u00e1lez de Prats (1932-2016), writer, columnist, poet, artist. While born in Tampa Florida to an Irish-American family, she spent most of her life in Cuernavaca. Where she painted along side her husband, Ram\u00f3n Prats.<\/p>\n

She was an inquisitive child and held dreams of expressing herself as a writer, which came true after moving to Cuernavaca. In 1978, Dorothy received a call from a friend telling her that he had spoken to Federico Bracamontes and\u00a0Jorge Lara, who were starting a newspaper “Diario de Morelos<\/em>” in Cuernavaca and wanted to meet with her. The next morning, they met at a restaurant and said that they wanted Dorothy to write a daily column, and another in the Cultural Section of the Sunday edition of\u00a0the paper, both in English. They settled on a salary, and Dorothy chose a weekly column dedicated to herbal wisdom. Thus the two columns; Carousel and The Medicine Tree were born. And, for the next 38 years, from the newspaper first edition in 1978, until her passing Dorothy’s dream came true.<\/p>\n

A few years before her passing, Dorothy presented her book of Haiku poems entitled “Haikus<\/em>” and the exhibition of ink drawings “The Voice of Silence<\/em>” at the Mexico City Museum.<\/p>\n
