If you're a romance reader who has enjoyed titles such as the Heart of Texas series 6 Rainier Drive, or 16 Lighthouse Road, you may not have realized you were holding a true romance in your hands. Irish author Debbie Macomber has Dyslexia and did not learn to read until she was eleven years old. But she did not allow her disability to stand between her and her true love of writing and reading.
