Emma AbramsAs a younger, Emma Abrams was an avid reader, even reading encyclopedias and cookbooks in a pinch. An American, she has called British Columbia, Canada 'home' for most of her adult life. Abrams enjoys traveling but feels most comfortable returning toher childhood haunts in South America, where her parents served as evangelical missionaries. A "third-culture kid," she often incorporates that unique aspect in her writing. Abrams is author of The Dorm, a novel set in a boarding school in Ecuador.
