McArthur Krishna graduated from Brigham Young University with her undergraduate and master's degrees. She co-owned an award-winning ideas marketing firm for a decade until she retired, got married, and moved to India. Over eight years she has written nineteen books, including A Girl's Guide to Heavenly Mother and A Boy's Guide to Heavenly Mother. Along the way she coordinated some of the first art in the LDS Conference Center that featured women, commissioned and curated global artists' work in the first art show focused on Heavenly Mother, and had her own art selected for the church's International Art Competition. The art (by Caitlin Connelly) from their book Our Heavenly Family, our Earthly Families was the first portraying Heavenly Mother published by Deseret Book. McArthur believes that unflinching hope, a lot of hours working with friends, and wifi can change the world . . . bottomless guacamole helps, too.
