Suzanne HoffmanSuzanne Hoffman, a native of New Orleans, Louisiana, is an attorney and passionate storyteller about the lives of Italian wine families. Although she now calls the Colorado Rockies home, Suzanne grew up in Thibodaux, in the heart of Louisiana bayou cuntry where she spent her childhood dreaming of distant shores.Suzanne realized those dreams and, for over two decades, lived and worked in Switzerland. From their home in Valais, she and her husband, Dani, explored the wine-growing regions of Italy and France. She discovered Piemonte in 1999 and soon became immersed in the enchanting region's rich culture and history. In 2016, Suzanne published her first book, "Labor of Love: Wine Family Women of Piemonte," an award-winning book that is a unique, groundbreaking collection of the life stories of Giulia Colbert Falletti, the last Marchesa of Barolo, and generations of twenty-two families of Piemonte's Langhe, Roero, and Monferrato wine-producing areas. Against a rich historical backdrop, Suzanne studied the seismic cultural and business changes in the Piemontese wine industry that allowed women to step from the shadows and assume significant roles in their families' wine estates."Angel of Alta Langa: A Novel of Love and War" is Suzanne's second book and debut novel. When not at her home in the Rockies, she's usually exploring the Alps and the vineyards and wineries of Piemonte and Sicily where she finds inspiration for her writing. Suzanne is a lover of horses, nature, and beauty in all its forms and is an avid participant in alpine sports and summer outdoor activities she enjoys sharing with her husband in the Colorado Rocky Mountain High Country.
