Michelle Horton says that "in a former life, I was a college-grad magazine intern with a solid 10-year plan until a (SURPRISE!) pregnancy shook up my life like a giant Etch-A-Sketch." She lyrically describes her experiences as a young mother navigating the waters of life and community through her writing, most notably on her website, EarlyMama.com. She lives in Westchester County with her family.
