A lifelong runner, she finally caught the triathlon bug and completed her first Ironman in 2019. She lives in Washington, DC, where she works in libraries (when she's not on her bike). The Museum of Us was her first novel. Visit her online at tarawilsonredd.com and on Instagram and Twitter (@tarawilsonredd).
Praise for Fierce as the Wind
“A powerful coming-of-age story full of grit.” —Kirkus Reviews
"Redd hones each facet to near perfection." —The Bulletin of
the Center for Children's Books
"Miho and her friends navigate privilege, identity, and
institutional inequality. These are complex topics, but the main
focus is the characters’ goal of loving and supporting a friend."
—SLJ
“I cheered with Miho with every thrilling mile through the streets
and surf of Oahu. What a glorious ride!” —Sarah Deming, author of
Gravity
“Tara Wilson Redd’s quick writing style and rich imagery make for
an immersive literary getaway that kept me racing through the
pages. Strong-willed Miho takes us on an intimate ride around her
island hometown as she navigates the flotsam of a broken heart,
triathalon training, and adolescence itself.” —Josh Sundquist,
author of We Should Hang Out Sometime
“Lessons found in sport: life doesn’t follow a plan, success is
achieved through team, a new beginning is often painful. Miho
discovers, as I did, that hard work and innovation pave the path to
victory in both life and athletics.” —Gwen Jorgensen, 2016 Olympic
Gold Medalist, 2014 and 2015 World Champion triathlete
