October 2011


I grew up outside Boston in Newton, and later Natick, MA. During the school year I went to Catholic school, did a lot of homework, and read a couple books a week. During the summer I read a couple books a day and spent hours swimming and playing outside at our local pool or beach. I was very much a planner, dreamer, and writer, creating plays and shows for my siblings and the neighborhood kids to be in and filling up entire notebooks with novels. I always read late into the night and slept with a book under my pillow.

I went to college in Lexington, VA at Washington and Lee, where I studied English and European History; I went to grad school in New York City at The New School, where I studied Writing for Children.

I want you to know that you aren’t alone—many people write to me about similar things that have happened in their families. I hope you have found a safe, loving home and are doing well now.

I do tend to write about loss and separation, so you will see those themes throughout my books, both released and yes, upcoming. You might turn to Eight Keys next, in which the main character, Elise, is being raised by her aunt and uncle after losing her parents.

I would also recommend a book by another author, Sharon Creech, called Walk Two Moons.

Quotes by Suzanne LaFleur  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“No matter how much we love someone, or think we know them, we can never know what it is like to be inside them.”
Suzanne LaFleur, Love, Aubrey

“But in life people come and go. We don't always have control over it. But we can control how we respond. We can keep going, keep living the best we can. We can love the people we have instead of shutting them out. We can do our best to get to know them in the time we have.”
Suzanne LaFleur, Eight Keys

“Sometimes I wonder if life is all about one moment. Everything before and everything after is about that one moment, and we are all stuck there.”
Suzanne LaFleur, Love, Aubrey
