Susan Taylor Brown

"I never knew my father," says Susan Taylor Brown. "If I never told you anything else about me, that would say a lot about why I wrote Hugging the Rock. Because I didn't know him, didn't know anyone from his family, I invented elaborate stories in which I was suddenly 'found' and reunited with a father who loved me, who wanted me, who needed me to make his life complete. Of course, that never happened. In writing Hugging the Rock I gave myself the father I've never known." Susan lives in San Jose, California with her husband, her dog, and over 5000 books.
