New York Times bestselling author of a novel or six, including Beautiful Exiles, an Amazon First Reads pick; the Langum-Prize honored The Race for Paris; The Language of Light, a finalist for the Bellwether Prize for Socially Engaged Fiction (now the PEN/Bellwether); and The Wednesday Sisters, one of Entertainment Weekly's 25 Essential Best Friend Novels of all time. I write a monthly “Listen In” audiobook review for the San Francisco Chronicle. A graduate of the University of Michigan and its law school, my shorter work has run in the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, The Washington Post, the San Francisco Chronicle, Forbes, and public radio, often on the subject of the particular challenges women face.

Talk to me about outrage overload. Or not.
