About Nicole Leinbach
Nicole Leinbach and Claire Reyhle are a mother and daughter duo who were inspired to write Shadow Siblings by their son and brother, respectively, who has a rare autoimmune disease that caused him to lose all of his body hair at the age of three. The years that followed led Leinbach to view the unique role her daughter, Claire, had as a sibling to a brother who was – as Leinbach often said – born to stand out. Though he typically received more attention and needed additional care at times, Claire also had a unique role in being in his “shadow”. Leinbach affectionately referred to Claire as his shadow sibling, and together they wrote Shadow Siblings: Discovering Your Unknown Superpower as a way to inspire and support other siblings who may also stand in the shadows of their own brothers or sisters who need extra care or get extra attention due to circumstances, medial challenges or experiences out of their control. Leinbach is also the author of the book Retail 101: The Guide to Marketing & Managing Your Retail Business, founder of RetailMinded.com and is globally recognized for her expertise in the business of retail.
