Leigh Marie Dannhauser served in the Peace Corps as an agriculture volunteer in the West region of Cameroon from September 2017 to November 2019. She never saw herself becoming an author, but after journaling her experiences in Cameroon almost daily, she saw an opportunity to share her story with others and published Nothing Works But Everything Works Out in November 2019. Born and raised in Bronxville, New York, Leigh has a B.A. in journalism and in religion from Washington & Lee University and M.S. in commerce from the University of Virginia. She is an aspiring human rights attorney and plans to start law school in August 2020. Leigh currently lives on Cape Cod.
