Norma Collins grew up in the beautiful Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas and became a Seventh-day Adventist after attending one evangelistic meeting. Stories of the pioneers are in her blood, fueled by 30 years at the Ellen G. White Estate, where she began her career as the secretary to Arthur L. White, Ellen G. White’s grandson. In 1995 she became the first female associate director. She has participated directly in the preparation of many Ellen G. White compilations, including Heal the World, True Education, The Truth About Angels, Daughters of God, and To Be Like Jesus.
