Meet the Author
Avah Broc lives in British Columbia, Canada with her family.
She writes to entertain and inspire people to pursue their goals and dreams. Avah thanks her family for their loving support, which has encouraged her throughout her creative journey.
Her passion for writing was shaped by her years as a schoolteacher and by raising her own three children, with whom she spent countless hours reading their favorite books.
The idea for her series was first sparked by an 1884 French painting.
While sorting through old files from a retired teacher friend of her mother’s, Avah discovered a collection of his artworks. Among them was The Song of the Lark, which depicts a lone peasant girl pausing in a field to listen to a singing lark at dawn.
Avah framed the painting, not knowing then how deeply it would shape her creative path. Something in the quiet strength of the young girl—the resilience in her solitude, her rising hope—spoke to Avah.
That image stayed with her. Over time, its impact deepened in a powerful way, and the story of Raja emerged: a girl of humble beginnings whose life—marked by hardship and secrecy—was transformed by truth, courage, and a destiny she chose to follow.
Since then, Avah has spent many passionate and joyful hours cultivating and perfecting her story for whomever would like to dive into another world filled with intrigue, suspense, and emotion.
When Avah’s not writing, you can find her being active in the outdoors with her husband and Australian Shepherd, finding inspiration in the calm and beauty of nature.
Above all, Avah believes that stories have the power to awaken courage, stir hope, and remind us that the most important journeys begin within.
