About the author

R.A. Mizer was born in India and brought to the United States by her parents at just six-weeks-old. She has two younger sisters, Sarah and Rebekah. She has been writing ever since she could pick up a pencil, penning her first novella at age 10. (One that will *not* be published.)

Ever since then she has had a love affair with writing. It allowed her to escape from my stressful childhood and go somewhere else- or be someone else.

Her parents settled in North Carolina, where she was raised. She now lives in Seattle, Washington with her husband (and high-school sweetheart) James.

Reviews

[A.L. Mengel · Rating 5 out of 5]

R.A. Mizer writes a poignant tale of simplicity that makes a profound impact through discovering the treasures of one's heritage through food. Curry, one of the primary Indian dishes, surrounds this tale of a pregnant Indian woman seeking to perfect her recipe.

The story takes her on a journey of appreciation, not only of her ancestors and the dish, but of her life itself. It paints a vivid picture of how life evolves and continues, through multiple generations, day to day, with the same things that tie us all together through time. The prose is tight and descriptive, and indicative of Mizer's talent.

I am looking forward to more from this author. Highly recommended.
