Avery Sumner was raised on a small farm just over the Georgia state line in Jefferson County, Florida.  As a child she spent many solitary hours in the stillness of nature and credits these early experiences for directing her to the life she currently leads as a writer and yoga instructor. Avery presently lives in the mountains of North Georgia, having moved there from Normandy, France where she lived with her French husband Alain Laplanche. Before France, Avery lived seven years in the Florida Everglades where she operated a seasonal cafe and wrote the column Notes From the End of the Road for area newspapers. When she travels she looks for the natural and simple.
