Penelope Freed lives in the Pacific Northwest where you can find her learning how to drive in the rain, walking her dog and making a mess in the kitchen. Her daughter thinks sheâs a little bit bonkers and really hates it when she dances embarrassingly in public. Which she does, often.
After a lifetime in the ballet world, Penelope decided to start writing down the stories in her head instead of narrating her ballet classes with themâher former students are very thankful for this decision. Now, Penelope writes stories about dreamers, just like she is, who are willing to do whatever it takes to make those dreams come true.
