A B Poranek

A. B. Poranek grew up in Canada but spent her summers in the Polish countryside, reading under apple trees and helping care for her grandfather's chickens. Her love of animals led her to pursue a degree in veterinary medicine, though she never stopped writing along the way. Her first novel, Where the Dark Stands Still, a New York Times bestseller, is an ode to Poland's wild woodlands, wilder folktales, and the girls who were raised by them. She's also the author of A Treachery of Swans.
