(About the Author) Originally from Yakima, Washington, first-time author Teresa Bravo-Cortines was abducted as a teenager and taken to work camps across the United States. After escaping the man who kidnapped her, she studied business in college. The author worked in the insurance business until she had "a seizure that landed me in the hospital for a couple weeks, followed by the bad news of cancer." She later graduated first in her class at the Cordon Bleu and became a chef. Following a diagnosis of COPD, she is no longer allowed in professional kitchens with oxygen. "I have many hobbies, I'm pretty much an old soul in spite of losing my eyesight. I try to do as many crafts as possible, but my No. 1 hobby is cooking."
