A Branch for Each New Sky
What if each lifetime was a chance to heal the past?
In 13th-century Wales, a peasant girl dares to defy the limits of her station, risking risking everything for the chance to choose a different life. In modern-day Michigan, a young woman begins experiencing glimpses of a medieval life that feels less like imagination and more like memory. As the boundary between past and present blurs, she dares to break centuries-old patterns and forge a new path.
Spanning lifetimes, A Branch for Each New Sky explores how the past echoes through current lives, the evolution of women's choice across centuries, and what it takes to finally choose a life of one's own.
About Me
After nearly 30 years as a child welfare advocate, I turn to fiction to explore the historical evolution of social issues through the lens of human experience.
My first novel - A Branch for Each New Sky - is a story of one soul evolving through the lives of two women-from medieval Wales to modern Michigan-to overcome a legacy of trauma and reclaim the power of choice.
I live in Colorado with my husband, two sons and Golden Retriever, Woody. You might also find me singing with a groovy blues band in the Denver area.
