Claudia Cangilla McAdam is a devout Catholic and multi-award-winning author of more than thirty books for kids and teens. Her works encourage young readers to explore the virtues, build character, and deepen faith. She has an undergraduate degree in English and a master's in theology from the Augustine Institute. Many of her books are works of historical fiction in which she invites her readers to imagine what it would have been like to walk in the sandals of young people who could have lived at the time of Jesus and interacted with Him. She makes frequent appearances on behalf of her books, either in-person or virtually, and she offers free Discussion and Activities Guides, available at her website, www.ClaudiaMcAdam.com. Claudia and her husband live in Colorado, close to their children and grandchildren.
