Autorenporträt
Teresa Bruce is a PR and marketing specialist, award-winning screenwriter, and TEDx speaker. Her PBS documentary God's Gonna Trouble the Water won a CINE Golden Eagle. She collaborated with her photographer husband on Transfer of Grace, an award-winning collection of images and prose of the South Carolina low country. The Drive is the first time her work has been presented to trade publishers, as her previous book The Other Mother: a Rememoir (Joggling Board Press) was unagented, but despite the press's limitations New York Magazine called it "loving, contemplative, and nuanced" and it was IBPA's best memoir of 2014.
