New Publications

My new historical fiction book, The Baby Experiment, will be published by Dundurn Press in May 2012. Johanna is a 14-year-old Jewish girl who lives in Hamburg, Germany. She dreams of seeing what lies outside the confines of the Jewish quarter. She lies about her identity and gets a job as a caregiver at an orphanage. She soon realizes that a secret experiment is taking place which results in the death of babies.

 Johanna kidnaps one of the babies and sets out for Amsterdam. She has a lot of courage and determination, but will it be enough to save the baby and reach her destination? Will she finally find a place where  she can be free?

Work in Progress
