Baum, Alexia: - Alexia Baum has been a native Los Angeleno since the age of 1, spent years after college on location as part of various film crews, and spent nearly a decade living in New York City, a time which corresponded to her marriage and quest for family. She has spent the majority of her 25+ year career working in music and media, representing companies like Universal Pictures, Putumayo World Music, Jive Records, and more. Having been a single mother for more than 15 years, she is finally finding the time to turn this story into a book. An excerpt of this story appeared as the finale chapter in Stories of Adoption and this book initially appeared temporarily as much lauded blog posts at alexiabaum.com.
