About the Author
Velina Showalter is an acclaimed author whose evocative storytelling delves into the profound intersections of perception, loss, and human resilience. Born in the rolling hills of rural Pennsylvania, she drew early inspiration from her family's oral histories and the quiet mysteries of everyday life. With a background in psychology and creative writing, Showalter crafts narratives that challenge readers to question what they see—or fail to see—in the world around them. Her debut novel, Blind Martha, garnered widespread praise for its lyrical exploration of a woman's journey through darkness toward unexpected enlightenment, while her follow-up, What the Blind Man Saw, further solidified her reputation with its poignant examination of memory and revelation. A devoted advocate for literacy programs, Showalter resides in Asheville, North Carolina, where she continues to weave tales that illuminate the unseen facets of the human experience.
