I spent my childhood summers on Canandaigua Lake, a place rich in Native American folklore and natural beauty. It so inspired me that I set my first novel there. Some credits include the Edwin L. Moses Award for Fiction, chosen by T.C. Boyle; a Kerr Foundation Fiction Scholarship; the Phi Kappa Phi Award for Creative Achievement in Fiction; the Wesleyan Writer's Conference Davidoff Scholarship in Nonfiction and the Kemp Award for Outstanding Teaching and Scholarship.

"Who can say what they’d have done in her situation. She’s stronger than she knows. I tried to tell her that every day, too.”
“Was that the truth?” Grant asks.
Joseph smiles. “You ever see a tree that’s dying, it’s nothing but a bunch of dried out branches? You can talk to this tree, tell it all about how its leaves are growing green and healthy. Then you sit back and watch how it changes."

"The saving grace is that some girls learn. They’ll grow wise to their own hearts meanderings. They’ll spot a train wreck miles away and they’ll run in the opposite direction. They’ll find good men to marry and go on to live good lives. But others will spend their lives compelled by the rescue. These women will become the forever disappointed, so much so that sometimes it will hurt to look them in the eye...."
