Autorenporträt
Born to a teen mother and a child of the foster care system for four years before she was adopted, Dr. Krista Driver started out as the epitome of the "underdog." Today a licensed marriage and family therapist with a doctorate in psychology, Dr. Driver has dedicated her career to working with the most vulnerable in her community. A perpetual observer with an innate curiosity for other people's stories, when she stumbled across an incredibly fascinating tale of one woman's escape from Vietnam, she felt compelled to write about it. It all began in a nail salon in Orange, California with a simple question: "Where are you from?" As the CEO of a nonprofit counseling center that specializes in providing mental health services to women and children, Dr. Driver sees Mani/Pedi as a natural extension of her work.
