Elisabeth Hyde

Elisabeth Hyde is the author of six critically acclaimed novels, most recently Go Ask Fannie (Putnam's, 2018), which won the 2019 Colorado Book Award for General Fiction. Her fifth novel, In the Heart of the Canyon, was a NY Times Editor’s Choice and a People Magazine Great Read. Her fourth novel, The Abortionist’s Daughter, became a best seller in Great Britain after being selected as a Summer Read by The Richard and Judy Show (Britain’s Oprah, at the time). Trained as a lawyer, she tried cases for the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, D.C., for several years, a day-job that still gives her stomachaches just to think about. Realizing that she preferred written conflict over face-to-face argument, she eventually left the law to write fiction, and never looked back. She lives in Boulder with her husband and the best dog in the whole world.
