Gracie Gable

Biography

Gracie Gable grew up in Arkansas, and though she now lives in Santa Cruz, California, she’ll always be a Southerner at heart. An author, artist, and psychiatrist, Gracie’s writing reflects themes of love, loss, abandonment, and redemption that permeated her decades in the consulting room. Where The Old Roses Grow was inspired by the beloved garden of a neurosurgeon and Botticelli’s masterpiece The Birth of Venus. Away from her writing desk, Gracie enjoys creating abstract art, playing the cello, swimming with her husband, and listening to her daughter’s beautiful operatic voice and her stories of adventure.
