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

Now 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.
