Erica Clem is a mother, teacher, and writer who earned her BS in Education from the University of Vermont and later received her M.Ed. and Literacy Specialist licensure from Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In high school, Erica attended an arts school for creative writing, where her passion for storytelling blossomed. In her twenties, Erica learned she carried the BRCA1 gene mutation—a discovery that turned her world upside down. Searching for guidance, she found few stories that captured the experience of being a previvor—someone who takes preventive steps, such as surgery, to reduce their risk of hereditary cancer before it develops. With cancer touching so many in her family, Erica was the first to change the story by becoming a previvor.​ Previvor is Erica’s first-hand account of navigating the weight of her genetic legacy, undergoing preventive surgeries, stepping into motherhood, and facing postpartum depression. With honesty and heart, she shares the trials, triumphs, joys, and heartbreaks that shaped her journey. ​Erica lives in Waltham, Massachusetts, with her husband, their two children, and their beloved goldendoodle, Sadie. Previvor is Erica's first book. Follow Erica's BRCA account on instagram: @brca_previvor
