PRISCILLA WARNER
In the aftermath of 9/11 Priscilla Warner began a soul-searching conversation with two other woman that developed into a NYT bestseller called The Faith Club: A Muslim, a Christian, a Jew – Three Women Search for Understanding. The authors toured the country for three years, speaking to thousands of people in dozens of cities, at churches, synagogues, mosques, schools, and community centers.
Next, Priscilla wrote another NYT bestseller called Learning to Breathe, setting out to repair damage from the hundreds of panic attacks she’d experienced all her life, due to childhood trauma. Through retreats, conversations and sessions with teachers and healers, she learned coping tools that helped thousands of readers struggling with their own anxiety.
Priscilla’s writing has been featured on The Today Show, The New York Times and NPR. She lives with her husband outside of New York City.
