Hadley Leggett writes twisty family dramas that explore truth in shades of gray. Her first novel, All They Ask Is Everything, won the 2025 Nancy Pearl Book Award and the Rising Star Award from the Women's Fiction Writers Association. Before becoming a novelist, her winding career path included degrees in medicine, biochemistry, Spanish, and journalism. She currently lives in Seattle and is the mother of three children, three cats, and a very sassy rescue pup.
