Amanda Bestor-Siegal is the author of The Caretakers (William Morrow / Harper Collins & Little Brown UK). She received her MFA in fiction and screenwriting from the Michener Center for Writers at the University of Texas. Amanda lived in France for four years before relocating to Austin.

"How rare this is, a book—a first book—that has it all. The Caretakers is thrilling and deeply moving, gorgeously written and intricately plotted, morally complex and surprising and sweeping and intimate, with some of the most indelible and heart-breaking characters I have ever encountered in a novel. It's a bold and brilliant book."

– Elizabeth McCracken, author of Bowlaway and The Souvenir Museum
