Rebecca Abbott Miller is a North Carolina-born author, nurse, and lifelong storyteller. She began writing novels as a teenager and never stopped — often scribbling scenes in the margins of notebooks between classes, shifts, or parenting moments. Her stories blend emotional depth with lived experience, drawing from the complex intersections of motherhood, loss, healing, and hope.
After studying Deaf Education and English at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Rebecca devoted several years to fostering children alongside her husband, Scott. Together, they raised their daughter Amanda and later adopted their son Timothy. Family has always been the heart of her world — and it beats through every story she writes.
Now holding a Master of Science in Nursing, Rebecca balances her work in health and wellness with a deep passion for fiction. Her writing explores the raw, beautiful mess of being human — love that endures, grief that transforms, and resilience that quietly rebuilds what was broken.
She is the author of The Quintessential Series, which includes Build My World, Save Me, and Going Home — a contemporary collection of emotionally driven novels about identity, connection, and second chances.
Her latest novel, A Girl Named Charlie, follows a nurse whose life changes after a lightning strike leaves her with an unexplained ability to heal. What begins as a miracle slowly becomes a burden — forcing Charlie to confront how far she’s willing to go to help others, and what it might cost her in return.
When she isn’t writing or working, Rebecca is usually curled up with a good book and a strong cup of black coffee. She lives in a small North Carolina town with her husband, their son, and several pets.
