name: Sara Tucker
about: I grew up in Vermont, studied acting at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York, then switched to publishing and got a job at Cosmo (Helen Gurley Brown used to give me her hand-me-downs). I now divide my time between Vermont and France. I write nonfiction--I seem to be incapable of making stuff up. I come from a big family and am fascinated by family relationships in all their glorious confusion. In my first book, Our House in Arusha, I delved into my French husband's family history and examined my own bumbling relationship with my eleven-year-old stepson. In the sequel, An Irruption of Owls, I reflected on the five years I spent as my mother's caregiver, a time of joy and sorrow.
