Virginia Kantra

New York Times bestselling author Virginia Kantra’s lifelong love of stories led her to write over thirty novels about strong women, messy families, and the journey to find yourself. Her books, including Meg & Jo and Beth & Amy, contemporary retellings of Little Women, have received numerous awards as well as starred reviews from Publishers Weekly and Booklist and praise in People and USA Today.
 
Virginia is married to her college sweetheart, who keeps her supplied with ideas, caffeine and cocktails. They make their home in North Carolina, where they raised three amazing children. Like the witches of Oz, Virginia believes firmly in finding the power that was inside you all along.
