Suzy Parish grew up in Richmond, Virginia, where she and her brother Roger took refuge from the summer heat in the neighborhood Bookmobile. Suzy would stow away on the threadbare carpet in the corner of the bus, back pressed against the bookshelves. She read for hours. Inspired by authors similar to James Herriot, and Anna Sewell, she dreamed of writing her first book.
Years later, Suzy and her husband, Chet, made their home in Huntsville, Alabama, where they raised three daughters. Chet encouraged Suzy to write. When he retired as a Huntsville Police Investigator, Chet traveled to Afghanistan to train locals in police work. Suzy cobbled together the sights and sounds of Afghanistan from Chet's internet calls. His vivid descriptions later formed the framework for her debut novel, Flowers from Afghanistan.
The Military Writers Society of America awarded Flowers from Afghanistan a bronze medal. The book was chosen as the Best First Book in Inspirational Romance by the National Readers' Choice Awards.
Parish's stories celebrate the resilience of the human spirit and the faithfulness of God.
Suzy is a proud wife, mom, and Nonni to five incredible humans. Her dog, Sandy, frequently visits the veterinarian's office because she loves socks.
