New York Times bestselling author Mary Alice Monroe is known for richly textured books that explore the compelling parallels between nature and human nature. She brought to life the saga of endangered sea turtles in THE BEACH HOUSE and in SWIMMING LESSONS, the majesty of birds of prey in SKYWARD, and the struggles of our changing landscape in SWEETGRASS.
Mary Alice is a dedicated member of the Isle of Palms/Sullivan’s Island Turtle Team and the International Center for Birds of Prey, and serves on the board of the South Carolina Aquarium.
A source of pride for Mary Alice is the fact that thousands of dollars have been raised to support environmental causes, specifically through her books.
"I am inspired by the varied ecosystem with the ocean, beaches, marshes, wetlands and mountains and discover powerful metaphors that add a greater degree of depth and emotion to my novels.”
Monroe’s novels have won critical acclaim and awards. Her books are sold worldwide. Her 10th novel, SWIMMING LESSONS and her first children’s book, TURTLE SUMMER; A Journal for my Daughter, a companion to the novel, were released in 2007. Mary Alice lives on a barrier island outside Charleston, South Carolina.
