Alice Sebold
Born in 1963
Alice Sebold is an American author known for her novels The Lovely Bones and The Almost Moon, as well as her memoir Lucky.
The Lovely Bones became a bestseller and was adapted into a film.
Lucky, which detailed Sebold's experience of being raped in college, sold over a million copies.
However, the man convicted of the crime, Anthony Broadwater, was exonerated in 2021 after spending 16 years in prison due to a misidentification by Sebold.
As a result, Lucky was withdrawn from distribution by its publisher.
Sebold's work often deals with themes of trauma and survival.
