Georgia Hunter is an author whose literary journey began with an eye-opening family reunion in 2000. This event introduced her to the remarkable wartime experiences of her grandfather's family. Motivated by these discoveries, she embarked on a mission to uncover and document her family's history. After extensive research, her endeavor culminated in the creation of her first novel, We Were the Lucky Ones. The narrative, which is deeply rooted in her ancestry, has reached an audience of over a million readers, been translated into sixteen languages, and has the distinction of being optioned by Hulu for a limited series adaptation.
Continuing her exploration of historical narratives, Hunter's second book, One Good Thing, is set in Holocaust-era Italy. It presents the story through the eyes of a young woman who relies on her resilience to survive amidst turbulent times. As she crafts these compelling tales, Hunter not only delves into the past but also brings her family's legacy to the screens, sharing their story with a wider audience.
