Alexandra Lewis’s writing journey started in front of a TV playing Little Women. As Jo March tied up her manuscript with ribbon and a red flower, Alexandra said “I wanna do that!” and ran off to find paper. Spoiler: She never did tie her manuscript up like Jo. But she did keep telling stories. Now, Alexandra writes YA novels about finding hope and joy amid life’s trials—much like Jo did. When she’s not writing, Alexandra is either exhaustively researching her latest obsession, spending too much money on books, or ‘Gathering’ to watch movies with her sisters.
