About Cari Best
Cari Best grew up in New York City in an extended European family dominated by confident, beautiful women who loved to talk. As a result, she became more comfortable with the written word as opposed to the one spoken. A graduate of the City University of New York, she also received a master’s degree in library science from Drexel University, landing a job as the first librarian at the newly built headquarters of the International Reading Association in Newark, Delaware. She served as Editorial Director at a film company for eighteen years while raising three children, numerous dogs, and seeing the world. Cari lives in Connecticut where she walks, gardens, laughs, and reads a lot.
