About the Author
Nicole Hewitt is a middle-grade author living in the Chicago suburbs with her husband, three grown kids, and two overly enthusiastic pups. She hates to run, but she succeeded in finishing a marathon (it was for a good cause!). She enjoys nature but doesn’t see nearly enough of it in Illinois, so her family travels to national parks as frequently as possible. She also loves to sing and can often be heard spontaneously composing incredibly profound songs about the fluffiest members of her family (the dogs, in case you weren’t sure). The Song of Orphan’s Garden is her debut novel.
Until next time…Happy Parenting!
