Lauren Tweel Oakey lives in Richmond, Virginia and is a graduate of the University of Virginia, where she studied World Religions and Italian language.
She has lived in Italy and Switzerland, worked mostly in non-profits, and is a lover of language and the rhythm of words.
Lauren enjoys playing piano, practicing yoga, and spending time with her husband, three children and incredibly beautiful, but high maintenance black lab, Posie.
This is her first book.
