Edith Forbes grew up on a family ranch in Wyoming. She graduated from Stanford University with a degree in English. After a short career in computer programming, she abandoned computers for more earthbound pursuits, including farming and writing. Forbes is the author of the novels Alma Rose, Nowle's Passing, Exit to Reality, and Navigating the Darwin Straits. Her work is characterized by skillful writing, poignant observations, and quiet yet evocative explorations of the human heart. Recently retired from her farm, she works as a writer and plays as a cross-country skier, gardener, musician, reader, and moviegoer. She lives in Vermont. Tracking a Shadow is her first memoir.
