Emily Gallo

Emily Views My Life In 3 Acts

Emily Kaufman was the girl growing up in Manhattan in the fifties and sixties. In the sixties and seventies, I attended Clark University and lived in San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and Seattle doing the hippie/peace/love/protest thing.

In the eighties and nineties, Emily Saur lived in Northampton, MA and Davis, CA and was the more conventional wife, mother of two, and elementary school teacher.

In 2006, Emily Kaufman retired from teaching and became Emily Gallo when she married David, a professor of economics, and moved to Chico, CA to continue our journey. Emily started writing screenplays and television and moved into novels. David, Gracie (our Schillerhound), Savali (our cat) and she now divides their time between two and a half acres of gardens, orchards in Chico and a 750 square foot condo on the beach in Carpinteria, CA.
