Sandra Montanino
By the age of eight, Sandra Montanino lived in three different countries. These rich exposures immersed her into a wealth of cultures, languages, viewpoints, and provincial superstitions. Most fascinating and further igniting her imagination was her familyโs tradition of sharing their own experiences and stories.

Sandra developed a true love of writing. Sadly, since all the old storytellers passed away, she realized she had an obligation to preserve their wisdom and treasures for her familyโs future generation, but the book grew much bigger than she expected and it pleases her to share these gripping, funny, sad, and tender stories with everyone in The Weight of Salt wrapped in the ribbon of Sandraโs imagination.
