Carolyn Newton

Carolyn Newton is a native of the American South, part of a creative and adventurous family that spent summer holidays at national parks and memorized poems for sport. Her vibrant childhood launched a life-long love of history and stories. She became a teacher with a specialty for sharing the often-overlooked tales of courageous people doing extraordinary things, and she always dreamed of becoming a writer. She lives with her family near the mountains of South Carolina where she loves to explore the woodsy trails in search of waterfalls and breathtaking vistas. The Refugee’s Daughter is her first novel.
