Author Biography

Carol Knuth grew up in central Illinois farming country. Abandoned by her mother, she lived with her father, a child sexual predator, for many years.

Eventually removed from her father's home, Knuth spent the rest of her childhood in foster care, placed twenty-one times while in the state's care.

As an adult, she lived as a military wife stationed in Oklahoma and Germany. After earning a BS in psychology and a paralegal degree, Knuth spent twenty years in management, human resources, and project management. She then changed careers, becoming a writer and advocate for the victims of abuse. She now acts as a keynote speaker, volunteers at a local women's crisis center and children's home, and works to raise community awareness of human trafficking and family abuse.

"The Garbage Bag Girl, "Rhodes' Home," and "The House on Third Street" are fictionalized accounts of her own experiences.
