Did y'all know we celebrate the same birthday? Yup January 19. Hers is a few years before mine.
She has five cookbooks under her belt. Her life story is without a doubt a rags to riches one. Both her parents died when she was very young. She suffered panic attacks with agoraphobia, it got to the point to where she wouldn't go outside at all. In 1986 she took a job as a bank teller, when the bank was robbed at gunpoint she never returned. She started the bag lady catering company with only $200.00 dollars in her pocket. The business has bloomed into what it is today. Paula now happily lives in Savannah with her husband and two boy, and now a couple of grand kids.
