About the Author :
A California native, Suzanne Adam served in the Peace Corps in Colombia before moving to Santiago, Chile in 1972 to marry her boyfriend, Santiago. She explores how this experience shaped her life in her 2015 memoir Marrying Santiago. Adam admits to being a tree-hugger, avid reader, nature writer, gardener, CNN news junkie, bird watcher, lover of storms and laughter, and doting granny. Before turning to writing, she worked as a teacher of learning-disabled children. Her essays have been published in The Christian Science Monitor, California Magazine, the Marin Independent Journal, Nature Writing, and Persimmon Tree. She blogs at www.tarweedspirit.blogspot.com.

Review :
2019 Sarton Women's Book Awards Finalist in Memoir “A lyrical meditation on the meaning of place and home . . . A poignant collection to cherish.” —Marjorie Agosín, author of I Lived on Butterfly Hill “Notes from the Bottom of the World truly demonstrates that Suzanne Adam is an observer and writer par excellence of and about nature, travel, and living a life in a country not of her birth.” —Marian Haley Beil, Publisher, PeaceCorpsWorldwide.org “In this tender, irresistible collection of personal essays, Suzanne Adam writes with quiet passion, sensitivity, and often achingly beautiful insight about her experiences, particularly the exquisite tension of sharing one’s heart between two cultures.” —Allyson Latta, literary editor and University of Toronto creative writing instructor “As we age, we naturally try to connect the loose ends of our lives. Let Suzanne Adams be your guide as she revisits her roots in California, Colombia, and Chile.” —John L. Rector, author of The History of Chile “I laughed, I cried, and I identified with the nurturing care Adam had dispersed. This book is a testament to the life surging within the body of a seventieth woman.” —OnlineBookClub
