Bio – Maureen Chap

My Story​

I was born and raised in Chicago. It is the city I have always loved. The big family I was raised in was very devoted to God. I was raised a Catholic and continue to practice my faith in this manner. Over the years I have had my doubts about who God is and what He would be wanting from me in this life.
Writing became a pastime for me and then a passion. I would share my writings with friends and be told I should write a book. That idea sounded nice but the process was a bit overwhelming.
With the assistance of friends and family I have released my book. It’s an honor to be published. I feel this is what God has truly been leading me to be, an inspirational writer.

Personal Life​

Maureen spent her adult life in the suburbs of Chicago but returned in 2023 to the city she loves. She loves driving along Lakeshore Drive and walking the Magnificent Mile. Chicago pizza, ice cream and hot dogs are her favorite food groups. She loves the music and the museums, the parks and the architecture.
A retired banker, she spends her time with family, writing, and enjoying walks in the neighborhood.
