Fitch was born in Los Angeles, a third-generation native, and grew up in a family of voracious readers.

But when she won a student exchange to Keele University in England, where her passion for Russian history led her, she awoke in the middle of the night on her twenty-first birthday with the revelation she wanted to write fiction.[3]
