Sara K. Orr is an author passionate about books, balance, and badass women.

Armed with degrees in English literature, law, and psychology, Sara’s writing explores the sparkling complexities of modern life, particularly where ambition meets the elusive quest for wellness. After twenty-one years as a corporate environmental lawyer navigating BigLaw life in Washington, D.C., Chicago and Houston, she decided to take a break and pursue her lifelong dream of becoming a writer.

Her debut novel celebrates ambition, friendship and resilience (a few of her favorite things).

Sara lives near Chicago with her pets, Gracie the Maltese and Gemma the Ragdoll, and enjoyed fifteen years taking care of her Shih-Chon Charlie (pictured). When not writing, Sara enjoys reading, volunteering with animals, puzzling, and shopping for school supplies but nothing makes her happier than Aunting her niece and five nephews.
