Daral Boles

Daral Boles is a writer turned therapist turned writer again. In her first career as an architectural journalist, Daral made her living with her words, writing about people and the places they inhabit. Then, nearly twenty-five years ago, she went back to school for counseling and spent two decades in that field before a dream job in Portugal (or so she thought) came her way. The Serra is Burning, which tells the story of that year in Portugal and the fire that consumed it, is her first foray into memoir.
