For years, readers of One Thousand White Women have asked me to write a sequel.
The Vengeance of Mothers chronicles the next wave of extraordinary women who traveled west to become “brides” of the Cheyenne, and in the aftermath of tragedy, must ask themselves: how far can we go to avenge the ones we love?

The Invisible Life of Ivan Isaenko brings to life something that we’ve all experienced on some level—that transformation that can only come from being connected with another human being.
Ivan is a lifelong resident of the Mazyr Hospital for Gravely Ill Children in Belarus. Life has left him snarky, yet endearing, and totally riddled with defence mechanisms. He curates a very detached and carefully managed life for himself to avoid feeling too much. But when Polina arrives, he wants something for the first time in his life. He wants her to live.
Ultimately, Ivan’s story is about choosing life over fear and embracing the richness held inside of lives we sometimes right off.
This makes it a perfect choice for those book club discussions that you can’t stop thinking about for days.

I love that our PBS Victoria series is so popular in the U.S., and it was great fun writing the novel. I pored through Victoria’s diaries, and I think the events of her younger years make for a captivating story. So excited it’s coming out in paperback, and I hope you love it.
