Fiona Gold Kroll was born in London, England, where she attended university before immigrating to Toronto in the 1960s. Fiona worked as a fashion buyer until she married and had two children. After the death of her husband, she pursued a career in corporate research. In her spare time, Fiona began investigating her family tree. Fiona wrote a summary about her great-uncle, which was published in Un train parmi tant d’autres, a French memoir about Auschwitz-destined Convoy 6. Fiona later published a short story, “The Butterfly Effect,” in 2013. A Stone for Benjamin is her first book. Happily remarried, Fiona continues to write in Thornhill, Ontario.
