Elizabeth Hardinger

Elizabeth Hardinger is the author of All the Forgivenesses, her debut novel.

She grew up near Hutchinson, Kansas, which likely influenced the Midwestern setting of her book.

Hardinger now resides in Oregon with her husband and occasionally hosts grandchildren.

Her family background appears to have inspired elements of the novel, as it is mentioned that the story is based on tales from relatives who lived in Kansas oil fields during the early 1900s.

Hardinger's writing style, particularly her use of authentic dialect, has been praised by readers, suggesting a strong connection to her roots and a talent for bringing historical settings to life.
