Audrey Hyams Romoff

Audrey Hyams Romoff was born and raised in Montreal, Quebec. From the outside, her childhood appeared idyllic—her father was a doctor, she attended private school, excelled at ballet, and wore beautiful clothes. But behind the façade, her family struggled. Her mother, Rachel, one of the youngest children to survive Auschwitz, battled depression, anger, and a need for control. As Audrey entered adolescence, their home became a battlefield of all-night arguments, slammed doors, accusations, and tears.

Seeking independence, Audrey moved to Toronto and earned a degree in English literature. She later founded OverCat, a communications and influencer agency, consulting for brands including Victoria’s Secret, Longines, and Estée Lauder, and working with Jennifer Lawrence, Sarah Jessica Parker, Katy Perry, and Jennifer Lopez.

Audrey is married with two children. Her memoir, The Ripple Eclipse: Turning the Tide of Inherited Trauma, is now available through Amazon, Indigo, and Barnes & Noble.
