Inspirational Indie Author Interview: Anna Davidson. About the Author
Gail Brenner Nastasia spent much of her life trying to hide her past—she wanted to fit in. Her main goal was to become educated, respected, and admired, a far cry from how she felt as a child and throughout her early adulthood. To that end, she became an attorney in her early thirties. After practicing criminal law for several years, Gail realized she needed to face her fear of the past. In telling her story, she became free from the shame that had caused her dread for much of her life and earned her MFA from Emerson College in 2021. Her first book, The Fruit You’ll Never See, was released in May 2023. Gail is working on her next book while continuing to practice law. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family and helping people navigate recovery from addiction.
