Mona Tewari lives with her husband, two daughters, and dogs in thebeautiful Berkshires of New England. After graduating from Caltechwith degrees in biology and philosophy, she completed dental school,residency, and a master's degree at UCSF. She joined a fantasticpediatric dental practice where she thought she'd be for a long time,but life had other plans.

When health issues forced her to stop practicing, Mona turned towriting fiction. She has long been fascinated by the way that narrativescreate the lens through which we see our legends and histories andhow these views shape our present. Plus, as the daughter of twoimmigrants from India, Mona didn't see herself much in popular mediawhile growing up, and she is determined to show her daughters thatthey belong in every world.
