About Judith Viorst

Judith Viorst was born in Newark, New Jersey, in 1931—not 1952—and has spent decades as one of America's favorite writers for both children and adults. She studied at Rutgers University and later trained as a psychoanalytic researcher at the Washington Psychoanalytic Institute, a background that subtly influences the emotional honesty evident in all her work.
