  <about><![CDATA[Ann Brashares grew up in Chevy Chase, Maryland, with three brothers and attended a Quaker school in the D.C. area called Sidwell Friends. She studied Philosophy at Barnard College, part of Columbia University in New York City. Expecting to continue studying philosophy in graduate school, Ann took a year off after college to work as an editor, hoping to save money for school. Loving her job, she never went to graduate school, and instead, remained in New York City and worked as an editor for many years. Ann made the transition from editor to full-time writer with her first novel, [book: The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants]. Ann and her husband live with their three children in New York.]]></about>    <gender>female</gender>  <hometown>Virginia</hometown>  <born_at>07/30/1967</born_at>
