Welcome, and thanks for visiting! If you’d like to connect about my books or writing in general, or discuss an event, book club visit, or workshop (I do many), please click here.
I’m a historical novelist, fascinated by individual journeys in other times and places as men and women seek what poet Mary Oliver calls our “place in the family of things.”
In Under the Same Blue Sky, a young German-American woman discovers that more than magical healing powers are needed as World War I up-ends her community.
In Swimming in the Moon (2013), set around 1910, Lucia leaves a magnificent villa on the Bay of Naples for Cleveland, fighting for worker justice while coping with her gifted mother’s emotional instability. 
When We Were Strangers (2011), a USA Today Bestseller, follows a young seamstress from a mountain village in Southern Italy as she stitches a new life in America’s rough immigrant quarters of the 1880’s.
