Rachel Zolotov's writing journey began after a conversation with her mother about her family history. It didn't take long for her to realize that she had a story that was worth sharing, and after years of research and writing, The Girl with the Silver Star was born.

Rachel has a background in Jewelry and User Experience Design and enjoys being creative. In her free time, you can find her snuggling up with a good book and a cup of tea. Rachel lives in St. Louis, Missouri with her husband and two daughters.
