Never let yourself be silenced

Coming this July!

“SAVING THORNWOOD is time travel at its most believable and most entertaining. The story, told in alternating viewpoints, allows a fascinating look into the stigma of mental illness then and now. It’s a real tribute to the power of young women across different eras to overcome helplessness and not only form their own futures but rescue those they care about.”    

—Mary Carroll Moore, best-selling and award-winning author of Last Bets and A Woman’s Guide to Search & Rescue
