     Larowehn’s honed observation skills infuse her writing with insight and fresh solutions to universal challenges as her writing style captures the ebb and flow of relationships and the inner landscape of individuality. Larowehn resides with her family in Cache Valley, Utah; grateful for the clear-eyed awareness that rugged mountain walks, disabled children, and committed family life provide.
