​​ALMOST AMERICAN (2025) begins four years after the end of GLASS HEARTS and explores the challenges my mother's family faced here in America. These books celebrate resilience and tenacity that enabled my mother, aunts, and uncles to thrive in their adopted home. I am proud to honor their heritage in this way.

​GLASS HEARTS (Academy Chicago, 1999, 2012), an award-winning novel, is a magical-realistic tale based upon my late maternal aunt's stories about how my mother's family survived the hardships of the Great War in Hungary and finally came to America to begin a new life.
