Laura Lofgreen has been married for 18 years and is the mother of six beautiful children, five boys and one precious princess, all named after Arizona towns. Her blog www.mydeartrash.com has over a million views and she writes about finding value in things we as a society throw away. An avid thrift store shopper, Lofgreen made a living selling used clothing on eBay and eventually got into refinishing vintage furniture, but most importantly, she writes about how she felt like trash after being sexually abused. My Dear Trash is about finding the value in ourselves, our children, our loved ones and with God. She is the founder of the social media campaigns projectused.com and babyyoureworthit.com. In her young adult historical fantasies, memoir or non-fiction work, she hopes to find those who have faced abuse or overcome great obstacles and remind them they are not trash, but have great worth and infinite value. When not writing, taking care of kids or doing laundry, she loves making chocolate chip cookies and going on long walks, but not at the same time of course. Her other books are Starving Girl and The Memory Catcher.
