About the author

After a magical Utah childhood (horses, mountains, apple trees), Karin Anderson still managed to overcomplicate her adult relationship to home roots. Utahn to the worrisome core, she came of age in the season of Cold War, Watergate, Ted Bundy, Gary Gilmore, the Sagebrush Rebellion, and organized community resistance to the Equal Rights Amendment.

Currently, Karin Anderson resides in Salt Lake City, the place her grown children call home even while they scatter toward their own futures. For this author, writing is a deliberate, possibly reverential, mapping of the stratified landscapes of cultural memory.
