Sandra Cavallo Miller is a retired academic family physician whose unlikely path to medicine included an undergraduate degree in creative writing . . . a very long time ago. Her poetry and essays have been published in JAMA: A Piece of My Mind; PULSE, Voices from the Heart of Medicine; Embark; and Under the Sun, among others. Now she writes novels about women physicians, a subject surprisingly lacking in fiction outside of crime scene stories.

CAROL TEST holds an MFA from the University of Arizona, where she served as former editor-in-chief of Sonora Review. Her fiction has been nominated for a Pushcart prize, two Glimmer-Train Short Story Awards for New Writers, and The Flannery O’Connor Award.

She lives in Phoenix, where she is at work on a collage memoir exploring how artifacts, images, and language hoarded in families reveal—and hold the potential to heal—generational trauma.
