Try The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah for sisterhood in wartime, The Address by Fiona Davis for New York history and hidden lives, or Before We Were Strangers by Renée Carlino for a poignant dual-timeline story. For mysteries, I recommend Her Royal Spyness by Rhys Bowen—fun, clever, and filled with 1930s flair.(less)

These stories explore the strength of mothers, daughters, and chosen sisters building lives in a world shaped by tradition, secrets, and Prohibition. I’m also releasing Legacy Letters, a serialized epistolary project shared through my newsletter that dives deep into forgotten women’s voices from WWI to the Roaring Twenties.(less)

Marching into History: How New York Women Fought Their Way to the Ballot Box

On October 27, 1917, more than 20,000 women marched through the streets of New York City, demanding the right to vote.
