Abstract
Isabel Ann Eggers was born to Herman Eggers and Elizabeth Pennington Eggers on July 28, 1932. Her father worked at Appalachian State University from 1929 to 1965. Her younger sister Elizabeth was born around 1936.
She married Richard Zuber, a professor of history at Wake Forest University, on August 29, 1954. She and Richard had two children, Jonathan Herman Zuber (b.1963) and Elizabeth Pennington Zuber (b.1967). She divorced Zuber in 1986.
Isabel worked as a librarian at Wake Forest University until her retirement in 2001. She earned her Master's in Library Science from UNC Greensboro in 1988 and her Bachelor of Arts in English and library science from Appalachian State University in 1954.
Her novel Salt was published in 2002 and was inspired by research into her own family in Appalachia in the early 1900s.
