S. Lee Davis grew up in rural Kentucky, where the events of The Girl in the Window first unfolded. A survivor of generational trauma, she spent over two decades finding both the strength—and the words—to tell her story.

She now writes across genres, transforming lived truth into memoir and crafting psychological tension in her upcoming thriller, Pine Mountain. Whether she’s recounting the past or imagining what lurks beneath it, her work centers on survival, resilience, and the quiet power of hope.

A nurse, author, and advocate, she has dedicated her life to caring for others—first at the bedside, now on the page. She lives in Louisville, Kentucky, where she works as a nurse, writes, spoils her grandsons, and finds healing in the quiet moments she once never thought she’d reach.
