<strong>Lisa Frieden grew up in California, with a side trip around the world as a kid, college in Cambridge, and a few unforgettable years in Santa Barbara. She’s read everything from William Shakespeare, Virginia Woolf, and Toni Morrison to Elizabeth Lowell, Sue Grafton, and Linda Howard. Her own books reflect this diversity, from <em>Dialysis: a Memoir</em>, to her romantic suspense books: <em>The Offering</em> and <em>Finding Clarity</em>, to her mystery, <em>Love and Money</em>. </strong>
