Sarah Addison Allen Biography

She was born and reared in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, North Carolina. Growing up, Sarah developed a passion for reading and a taste for delicious cuisine (she credits her journalist father for the former and her mother as a fabulous cook for the latter). Infusing her novels with the full flavor of her childhood in the South, Sarah Addison Allen creates a spellbinding brew of magical realism, heartfelt romance, and small-town sensibility. She declared literature as her major in college because, in her words, "I thought it was incredible that I could obtain a certificate just for reading fiction." Booklist praised Sarah's outstanding debut as spellbindingly delightful. The book became a New York Times Bestseller and a Barnes & Noble Recommends pick. Sarah took a break from writing after releasing four best-selling novels five years after receiving a late-stage breast cancer diagnosis at 39. Her best-selling book Lost Lake from 2014 marked her comeback to writing. She is currently cancer-free. She went back to the well-liked setting from her debut novel in 2015. The narrative of the Waverely Sisters from Garden Spells is continued in First Frost.
