As a child, Rebecca Papin would lie on her backyard trampoline in Franklin, Tennessee, watching the planes fly by, wishing she was on one of them, going on an adventure. After receiving a bachelor’s degree in Comparative Literature from The American University of Paris, Rebecca traveled the world, living on three continents, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, in five different countries, before returning to her hometown of Franklin to raise her two young children. Rebecca has visited 63 countries, is fluent in French, and, when not writing, enjoys reading, running, double espressos, art, and silence.
