When family stories make no sense, a question can take hold: Am I or are the others crazy?

At eighteen, after a turbulent childhood, Natalie, dubbed the family liar, sets out to uncover the source of her family's constant chaos. On her own, she traces her family's shifting stories and struggles with a haunting doubt: "Was it all my fault?"

I started out teaching English at the college and university level while writing novels, short stories, and children’s books. Then I went to law school, dedicated my law practice to defending people who could not afford to pay, kept writing books, took a detour into writing legal analysis for The Washington Post and other mainstream media outlets, wrote more books, and here I am.

Along the way, my writing has earned numerous awards and honors, including the Jane Addams Book Award, the Orbis Pictus Honor, and the Carter G. Woodson Middle Grade Level Book Award.
