These events later inspired her novels, Into the Wild and Out of the Wild, as well as her paralyzing fear of glass footwear.
Sarah has been writing fantasy stories since she was ten years old. She holds an English degree from Princeton University and currently resides in Stony Brook, NY, with her husband and daughter.
