About the Author

A class in art and a year of high-school French inspired Anagha to write this story. The book evolved out of Anagha's growing passion for French culture through her subsequent high school years. Writing the book as a student, she designed it to be a study tool by including a vocabulary section.

Besides French, Anagha loves music and enjoys playing the violin. She is an active member of her community through her program to raise funds for local children's hospitals. Currently she attends college in Massachussettes.
