Autorenporträt
Inspired by her own Girl Scout experiences, Shelley Johnson Carey enjoys exploring themes of girl empowerment in her writing. Shelley lives in Silver Spring, Maryland, with her husband and fewer than five miles away from all three of her children. She works in educational publishing and received her BA from Hampshire College and her MFA in creative nonfiction from Goucher College. While the crunch of a Thin Mint evokes too many wonderful Girl Scout experiences to count, her absolute favorite cookie memories center around tasting the first coconutty Samoa of the cookie season.
