Glendy Vanderah is a successful American author, originally from Chicago. She has gained considerable recognition for her literary works, with her debut novel "Where the Forest Meets the Stars" becoming a significant success. This book, which was published in 2019, has helped establish Vanderah as a noteworthy figure in the literary world.
Vanderah's passion for reading and writing can be traced back to her childhood, where she was heavily influenced by her parents, both of whom were public school teachers. By the age of three, she had already read her first story, and by the time she began grade school, she was writing rudimentary poetry and had even started working on her first novel in the fifth grade. This early start in reading and writing would eventually set the stage for her future career as an author.
Interestingly, Vanderah's love for nature also played a significant role in her writing. Her first novel, "Where the Forest Meets the Stars," is a testament to her passion for the outdoors, as it tells the story of a young girl who claims to be an alien and is found in a forest. This theme of nature is unsurprising given that Vanderah's first novel was about the adventures of an ant named Isabel. Her teacher's positive reaction to this early work proved to be a significant moment in Vanderah's writing career, as it sparked a dream that would eventually come to fruition with the success of "Where the Forest Meets the Stars."
