About the Author
Ellie Alanko is a Finnish-American author whose debut novel, From Finland with Love: A Novel, explores the tender intersections of heritage, longing, and belonging. Drawing on her own bicultural upbringing, she crafts intimate stories that illuminate the quiet courage required to bridge two worlds. Her prose balances lyrical observation with emotional clarity, inviting readers to consider how memory and place shape identity. When not writing, she divides her time between Helsinki and the Pacific Northwest, where the forests and coastlines continue to inspire her work.
