Über den Autor
Charlotte Miller was born in Roanoke, Alabama, in 1959, and has never lived outside the South. She began writing her Sanders family trilogy while a student at Auburn University, where she received a degree in business administration. Today, she works as a certified public accountant to pay the bills, and writes late into the night because she must. Behold, This Dreamer (2000), Through a Glass, Darkly (2001), and There Is a River (2002) complete her multi-generational saga of the agricultural and cotton mill South. One of her short stories, An Alabama Christmas, was included in the bestselling 1999 regional collection, Ordinary & Sacred As Blood: Alabama Women Speak. She is a member of the Georgia Writers and the National League of American Pen Women. She lives in Opelika, Alabama, and has one son, Justin.
