About the Author
Conor Grennan is an acclaimed author and humanitarian whose writing bridges the worlds of memoir and fiction, drawing from his extraordinary life experiences to illuminate themes of resilience, adventure, and human connection. Born in Ireland and raised in the United States, Grennan's journey took a pivotal turn in 2004 when, at age 29, he volunteered at an orphanage in war-torn Nepal, leading to the rescue and reunification of dozens of lost children—a story that inspired his debut memoir, Little Princes: One Man's Promise to Bring Home the Lost Children of Nepal. This New York Times bestseller not only chronicled his personal transformation but also sparked the founding of the nonprofit Timilai, dedicated to supporting Nepalese orphans. Transitioning to fiction, Grennan crafted the imaginative young adult novel The Hadley Academy for the Improbably Gifted, blending whimsy with profound insights into identity and belonging. A former actor and teacher, he now divides his time between writing, advocacy, and family life in Connecticut, continuing to inspire readers with narratives that celebrate the improbable power of ordinary courage.
