Hillary Vaillancourt, Author, Food Allergy Advocate
Meet Hillary
Food writing has always been a passion for HIllary, even as she has run hew own law practice.
Being diagnosed as an adult with multiple food allergies gave HIllary an insight to a whole world of food not many can understand. This diagnosis led to research, which pointed her back in the direction of her original passion: writing. In particular, writing for middle grade.
Inspired by her own trials with food allergies and then having multiple children who also deal with food allergies and intolerances, Hillary wrote "Millie and the Kitchen Witch" in 2023. With a dash of magical realism and a heaping of reality, Hillary takes readers on a journey featuring Millie Radford, a tough, yet enlightened preteen who is helping to fight for her family's business: a diner.
Along with the journey of saving the diner, readers are taken into the very real struggles of small town farmers who battle corporate farms, families worrying about food insecurity and children with deadly food allergies.
You can find "Millie and the Kitchen Witch" on Amazon, Barnes and Noble's website, Target, Walmart.com, and any other places online where books are sold!
