New Editorial Reviews for Brighter Than Her Fears

I'm excited to share these editorial reviews for my debut historical fiction novel:

'"Brighter than Her Fears" is a captivating and
emotional book that explores important themes such as love, independence, and identity in a
world dominated by social conventions and rigid expectations.'
The Historical Fiction Company
5-Star Review Award

'Libraries and readers seeking historical novels of American history that feature proactive women in the throes of personal and political transformation will find Brighter Than Her Fears a gripping story of a woman who faces both a lonely future and one more connected and powerful than she'd ever imagined.'
The Midwest Book Review

Book Club Offer

Brighter Than Her Fears published last week and Midwest Book Review called it "compelling." The novel will resonate with readers for its parallels, between then and now, on women's rights, inequality and racism.

Contact me for a book club author visit, where I'll share the real people and places behind the story.
