Andrea Watson currently lives in her hometown, Mercer Island, Washington, with her husband and three boys. Her favorite thing to do is plan trips and travel as she is always on the hunt for that undiscovered gem of a small town. She also enjoys hiking, skiing, and walking her dog. With her family she loves spending time at their cabin on Lake Chelan, Washington. She began her career as a teacher in special education and English for non-native speakers. After her first child was born, she stayed home to raise her three boys. Soon after her third child entered school, she started working for the family business in the areas of marketing and content writing. It was sitting in that office —the same office her grandfather once sat in —that prompted her to write this book.
