Leah Noel Sims has filled journals and written stories since she was six years old, when she won a writing contest for kids in Atlanta’s major newspaper. She tried to be logical for a little while by pursuing a career in journalism, but has traveled full-circle and returned to her lifelong passion of fiction writing. She lives in a 19th-century farmhouse south of Atlanta with her husband, two children, and galumphing German Shepherd. This is her first novel.
