In 2000 she and her husband decided to take a temporary break from their safe, urban existence to try life with their young twins on an island in the Nordic wilderness. This one-year experiment became a decade of learning and survival together. No stranger to new experiences, Lindahl has lived in ten countries on three continents and worked in many more. In "Rose in the Sand" she embarks on a new kind of journey: the inner journey to knowing oneself. Lindahl has a B.A. in English Literature from Wellesley College, an M.Phil. in International Relations from Oxford University and is a Fulbright Scholar. Lindahl is also author of "On My Swedish Island: Discovering the Secrets of Scandinavian Wellbeing" (Tarcher Penguin, 2005), and "Letters from the Island" (Senten.se, 2010).
