LEILA MCGRATH is a piano and voice teacher from New York who has written short stories and historical articles since the Fifth Grade. Now she's turning her attention to her true love: novels. When not writing, she enjoys travel, the latest great restaurant, or a big bowl of ice cream, while listening to her Spanish Timbrado canary sing for all he's worth.

Inspiration for her novels comes from magical Ireland, which she considers like no place in the world. Its unbelievable, little-known history enables her to connect with the heritage she shares with millions around the globe. Based on true events, Leila McGrath's stories magnify the lives of past heroes, with the hope of inspiring heroes for today.

Charlotte Brontë had the genius to create such a complex, in – depth story with mainly two characters, Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester. I think there are a few other stories with so much tension between two people who love each other more than themselves, and yet such insurmountable obstacles are between them. I don't know how many times I've seen the versions of the movie, and I can feel the tension more every time. (less)
