A Dark Forgetting

Kristen Ciccarelli is an internationally bestselling author whose books have been translated into a dozen languages. She grew up on her grandfather’s grape farm and spent her childhood running through vineyards, making forts in the barn, and adventuring in the deep, dark woods behind the house. Before writing books for a living, Kristen dropped out of college and worked various jobs. These included: fruit picker, artisanal baker, L’Arche assistant, community bake oven coordinator, bookseller, and potter. She also spent a year living in a punk house. Today, Kristen resides in the Niagara region of Ontario with her husband and their book-obsessed toddler. She is happiest when she’s reading a good book by a warm fire or chasing her giggly daughter down the shores of Lake Erie.
