A Secret to Keep
When Jelaine's parents purchased and moved the family into their own nudist camp, life slid off the rails of normalcy. Her childhood became divided between the casual free-thinking camp and the uptight, judgmental world found outside. As hard as Jelaine works to keep her two worlds separate, her parents worked equally as hard to bring them together, to convert the world to nudism. When theatrical plays, pageants and a movie production get thrown into the mix, the family secret became impossible to keep.
Join Jelaine for the struggles and capers of growing up naked. There's no need to peek through the fence... Just throw off any inhibitions and come on in.

Jelaine Lombardi has lived many lives. Raised in her family’s South Florida nudist park until the age of eighteen, she became a Newborn ICU nurse for thirty-two years, a lifelong horsewoman, wife and mother of two (with one child gone too soon). There are stories to tell, some disturbing, some hysterically funny, and others terribly sad. Now retired, Jelaine is exploring her memories through short stories, poetry and her memoir, Running Around Naked.
Jelaine divides her time between the mountains of Tennessee and the sands of Florida with her husband, Tom Lombardi, and their Australian Terrier named Cooper.
