About Demi Rush

Demi Rush writes two kinds of stories. In one, a woman moves through the world's most electric cities — Istanbul, Lagos, São Paulo, Mexico City — hired by families who want their stories managed and their secrets kept. She is always the outsider in the room. She is never the one who gets fooled.

In the other, a woman discovers that the life she built was constructed, at least in part, on someone else's lie. San Francisco. Mumbai. Nairobi. Three marriages. Three moments of stopping. Three women who chose the truth over the version they'd been handed.

Demi Rush is always writing the next city. Join the reader list to find out which one comes next.
