Author: Daniel James Brown

Daniel James Brown is an acclaimed author residing east of Redmond, Washington, where he crafts compelling nonfiction narratives centered on pivotal historical events. His latest book, *Facing the Mountain*, explores the courageous experiences of four young Japanese American men and their families in the face of the harsh realities of World War II. This work follows his New York Times bestseller, *The Boys in the Boat*, which tells the inspiring story of nine working-class boys who captured the nation’s attention during the Great Depression with their quest for gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics—a tale that has attracted film adaptation rights from MGM, with George Clooney set to direct. Brown's earlier works include *The Indifferent Stars Above*, a gripping account of a young woman's involvement with the Donner Party, and *Under a Flaming Sky*, chronicling the devastating Hinckley forest fire of 1894, which highlights his deep connection to personal history through his great-grandfather's experiences.
