Vanessa Lillie is originally from Miami, Oklahoma, where she spent a lot of her childhood investigating local ghost stories at the public library. After college, she worked in Washington, DC, and later moved to Providence, Rhode Island, which she, her husband, and her dinosaur-aficionado son call home. Smitten with the smallest state, she enjoys organizing book events and literary happenings around town. Her latest novel, For The Best, is now available.
Some writers think books shouldn't be political. Vanessa Lillie, author of a new thriller about white privilege and restorative justice, couldn't disagree more.
