E. B. Lee was raised in Weston, Connecticut, where she enjoyed the best of a then-rural town and easy train access to the high-energy world of New York City. She brings together elements of both worlds in her debut work of literary fiction, Clean Sweep, a heartfelt story of human connection, tough choices, and compassion. Ms. Lee and her husband have two grown daughters, one middle-aged dog, and have loved a variety of family pets along the way. Ms. Lee earned a B.A. from Yale College and a M.E.S. from the Yale School of the Environment. Immediately prior to taking up writing fulltime, she was a flower farmer, growing and harvesting over 70,000 flowers a year for bouquets, table arrangements, grocery stores, and weddings. Ms. Lee now writes in North Carolina and Connecticut.
