About the Author

Sunny Alexander returned to school as an adult, receiving her Master's in Marriage and Family Counseling and her Ph.D. in Psychoanalysis. With a background in psychology and her own life experiences, she weaves stories alive with the complexities and nuances of the human spirit while creating richly fleshed out characters and story lines that both resonate and entertain. Her debut novel, Flowers from Iraq: The Storyteller and the Healer was on Amazon's Best Seller Lesbian Fiction list for twenty-six consecutive weeks. A tale of opposites colliding and then reuniting, Flowers From Iraq balances humor and tragedy, the interior of the human mind and the healing power of love. Her second novel, The Girls, follows seven zany, free-thinking women from the 1970s to 2020, a hypothetical future when the United States Senate approves the Freedom to Marry Act. Sunny lives in Southern California near beaches and hiking trails. Story ideas and characters come to life when she is taking long walks or flying kites at the beach.
