Autorenporträt
Margaret Strawbridge Butterworth grew up in the Philadelphia suburb of Merion. She moved to Seattle, Washington, in 1997 and currently resides there with her husband and two children; she is a freelance writer for several Seattle-based publications. She has fond memories of shopping at the Ardmore and King of Prussia Strawbridge & Clothier branch stores with her friends as a teenager. For a special outing, she would go to the Eighth and Market Streets store, enjoy ice cream and chocolate croissants at the Food Hall, throw a penny in the Il Porcellino fountain and occasionally pay a surprise visit to her father, Francis, in his "Mahogany Row" office on the tenth floor.
