About the author

Dalena Dorn

Dalena Dorn began The Daughters of Athens while living in New Orleans, a city where every porch seems to have a story behind it. She finished the series in Oregon, among the rain and the evergreens.

The heroines are drawn from the girls and women in her own life, including her daughters, and from the friends she carried with her from one home to the next. Beneath the crowns and secrets, these are stories about the families we’re born into and the ones we choose.

She loves hearing from readers at dalenadorn@gmail.com.
