leah dessner - Author
Leah Dessner writes a series about moms doing things that other regular people do. She hopes to make people laugh and smile with her stories.
Currently employed with a Minnesota county, she enjoys her job and doing her best to help others. She enjoys writing because it is an essential creative outlet. She finds inspiration in everyday life and loves sharing these stories with others. Reading to her children has always been part of her daily routine, and she thought it would be fun to have books that she, too, enjoyed reading over and over again.
Leah is married and has three children. She lives with her family in southern MN. She loves watching her children participate in activities and sports, spending time with her husband, watching new TV series, being with family, and puttering with projects at home.
