Esther grew up on a farm in Missouri, where she spent her childhood in the woods playing with Peter Pan and the Pevensies. At 15, she moved away from everything she’d known to a strange new world called Massachusetts, which started her journey with mental health. She draws from her experiences to write YA stories full of hope and home for weary souls like her. She graduated from The Author Conservatory with a certification in creative writing, and a certification in business and entrepreneurship. When she’s not writing, you might find Esther baking snickerdoodles and singing showtunes or going on adventures (like visiting bookstores) with her husband.
