Alicia Hilsher is not just an author but also a photographer and adoptive mom. Her book, "Written in the Stars: An Adoption Story," is a manifestation of her perspective on the magic of adoption--a piece of her heart written for a child she didn't know at the time, who now brings so much love and joy into her life. With a passion for nurturing connections and understanding, Alicia's narrative aims to provide families with a gentle, magical way to introduce the concept of adoption to their little ones. Currently residing in Maryland, Alicia's roots as a Jersey girl remain an intrinsic part of her identity. When she's not immersed in writing, Alicia finds solace in exploring national parks, immersing herself in beach reads, enjoying heartwarming Hallmark movies, and embarking on memorable journeys with her family.
