ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Jennifer Degenhardt

A prolific author of over 100 novels, Jennifer has spent more than a decade writing stories at the intersection of language learning and real human experience. She writes about the topics most people avoid — and believes fiction is one of the most powerful tools we have for building empathy.

“I write to promote discussion. I get so tired of theory and expertise and would rather humans discuss what's really happening.”
