Lauren McLaughlin grew up in the small town of Wenham, Massachusetts. After college and a brief stint in graduate school, she spent 10 “unglamorous” years writing and producing movies before abandoning her screen ambitions to write fiction full-time. Though she fondly remembers much of her time in Massachusetts --- the marina, the beach, various teenage escapades --- she cannot, for the life of her, remember her SAT scores, her GPA, or any of the numbers that once summed her up.
