Meet Hillary
Hillary Kozma is an author of literary nonfiction exploring faith, wonder, divine signs, and the heart’s journey to Allah.
Raised in the wheat country of Eastern Oregon, among golden fields, rodeo towns, cowboys, ranching families, and the wide-open spaces of the American West, Hillary grew up attending the Lutheran Christian church, a Trinitarian church, and later came to Islam after a clear, unexpected thought came to her: read the Quran. Her writing often speaks to seekers, reverts, born Muslims, and spiritually curious readers drawn to beauty, mystery, meaning, and the hidden signs woven through creation.
Originally from the United States, Hillary has lived abroad since 2003, with years spent across the Middle East and Europe, including Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Portugal, and Spain. She now lives in the mountains of Lebanon with her husband, Mohamad, known as Mike, their two dogs, Charlie and Pickle, and her Andalusian horse, Napoleon.
When she is not writing, she can often be found reading in the garden, drinking coffee, cooking, sharing, and enjoying Lebanese food, walking in nature, or spending time with her horse.
