Walking Alison

Alison Rand has a master of social work degree, but her eclectic professional background also includes copywriting, acting, voiceovers, and audiobook narration. Alison’s first book, A Place Called Grace (2018), traced her adventures while living in Italy as she struggled to find her footing as an actress. It is a humorous, hopeful, and bittersweet contemporary memoir that shows how a seemingly unmoored existence can find its solid center after all. Alison is an exercise enthusiast, especially hiking and skiing. She is an avid dog person, and lives with her poodle, Dea, at home in Manhattan, where she was born and raised.
