Elizabeth Scarboro was born on September 11th, before it was September 11th, in a hospital in Denver, on the night of an eclipse, which her father remembers well, and her mother, shakily. She spent the first part of her childhood running around the Rocky Mountains and the next exploring the canals and bus systems of Phoenix, Arizona. She now lives in Berkeley, California with her husband and two children, and finds herself nostalgic for snow, and for summer days so hot you can't go barefoot. Scarboro is the author of the memoir My Foreign Cities, about her marriage to her first husband who had cystic fibrosis. My Foreign CIties was chosen as an Oprah Book of the Week, and named one of the Best Books of 2013 by the San Francisco Chronicle and Library Journal. Scarboro is also the author of two novels for children - Phoenix, Upside Down and The Secret Language of the S.B. She received the Olga and Paul Menn Award for Fiction. Her essays have appeared most recently in The New York Times, The Bellevue Literary Review, The Huffington Post, and The Millions.
