My first book, We Were the Lucky Ones, was inspired by a family reunion in 2000 that opened my eyes to the astounding, untold wartime stories of my grandfather, his parents and his siblings. In 2008, I set off to research and record this piece of my ancestry and a decade later, We Were the Lucky Ones was born. The book has been published in sixteen languages and has landed in the hands of over a million readers--and in recent and news, has been optioned by Hulu as a limited series! I can't wait to be a part of bringing my family's story to life on a screen.

My second book, One Good Thing, is a historical novel set in Holocaust-era Italy. Told from the perspective of of a young woman forced to trust her inner strength as she navigates a world turned upside-down, One Good Thing is a story of friendship and motherhood, romance and survival. I'm putting the finishing touches on it now; look for the book on shelves in 2024.

When I'm not neck deep in revisions, giving book talks, helping with the Hulu project or dreaming up ideas for my next book, you can find me at home in Rowayton, Connecticut, or on the road in search of adventure with my husband and two boys and our Aussie Shepherd, Dash.
