About the Author

Paige Dearth, a survivor of childhood abuse, was raised outside of Philadelphia. By her early twenties, she was a new mother with a heroin-addicted husband. Never a good student in high school, Dearth would later earn a master's degree while balancing a full-time job and parenting alone. She remarried and spent more than two decades working in corporate America. In 2011, she achieved her dream of becoming a writer by releasing her debut novel, Believe Like A Child. The beginning of Believe Like A Child is based on real events from Paige's childhood. Paige's novels present a fine balance between what lives on in her imagination and the evil that lurks in the real world. Paige writes real-life horror and refers to her work as: Fiction with Meaning. She hopes that awareness through fiction creates prevention. Paige lives in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with her husband Mike, and dog, Benny.
