Clara Baker
Clara Baker lives on the coast of Maine, where she loves to hike and read and spend time with her family, including her four young children. She directs a small library on Mount Desert Island, where she met the Minkler family and began having conversations about the gravity rules. Her current passion is learning about gender nonconformity and educating her community to pave the way for her transgender child. Clara takes a cue from Gravity Rule #4 (Gravity has no intention), and strives to help her children be their most authentic selves.
Sonwabile Pepani
If a time traveler were to return from the future I hope to be described as a Polymath or Renaissance man. This is due to the fact that I am hungry for knowledge, and I seek to master ever task I can get my hands on. Whether this task is learning how to operate a tractor or deriving supply curves in economics. I want to know it all and I want to be able to do it all. Currently I am a junior at St.Lawrence University where I major in Economics and minor in government studies. During my free time I enjoy socializing, philosophizing and spending time with those I most care about.
Sarah Minkler
Sarah is following closely behind her mother as a teacher working with a diverse population of youngsters. Most of the time, you can find Sarah in her classroom with 20 vibrant 4th and 5th graders. Sarah is also the Head Coach of the Varsity Alpine Ski Team in her district, and a 7th and 8th grade girls lacrosse coach. When Sarah is not with the 60+ children she works with throughout a school year, she can be found spending her time with her Fiance, family, and her puppy. In any remaining free time, Sarah enjoys sailing, skiing, and spending her summers on the coast of Maine.
