About the Author

Nicole Lusiani is a 17-year high school teaching veteran and writer who feels as Maya Angelou does, "At our best, we're all teachers." She guides her work with an intention toward revolution: one that allows people the freedom to do and say what is right for them in constructive and productive ways. Nicole leads that charge with Wildflowers Don't Grow in Rows, her forthcoming memoir currently in the final stages of editing, and What Can They Teach Us?, a book about how the national treasures who are our teachers can sustain themselves in such a complex political time.

Nicole also founded Dirt Path Publishing with a simple mission: to publish works that inspire people to consider new and different ways of looking at their common, everyday experiences. Grounded in a strong code of ethics, they hold our resources, employees, clients, and customers with great care. They value the written word just as they do one another, with all due respect both for what already works as well as the innovation for what comes next.

Writer. Mother. Teacher. Wildflower. Nicole believes that in all areas of her life her primary purpose is to live and work with integrity, honesty, and grace. By doing so, she hopes others feel free to do the same.
