A spunky Jewish princess gets banished to her great-aunts home for the summer after an embarrassing incident. Set in the 1960's, it's a wonderful story with lovable characters.
The Perfect Mother's Day Gift. Up in the Middle of Nowhere. Inspired by True Events
This book was inspired by a real-life adventure and a desire to reconnect with my child, J, who was on the cusp of becoming an adult. In the middle of a relentless Iowa winter in 2021, I woke up in a panic when I realized their childhood was almost over. Fueled by coffee in the early morning hours, I schemed my craziest adventure yet—a treehouse tour in Tennessee. Over the course of the next month, I booked four treehouses, and we set off for our grand adventure in June 2022.
Tennessee was beautiful. A curvy southern belle that welcomes new beaus with open arms. The drawl of the native tongue had such a warmth to it, I wish it would have stuck to my staunch midwestern syllables. It was lyrical, combining words together yet shortening them at the same time. The roads were dizzying, spinning us through hollers and chugging up peaks while we baked in the sun of a decadent summer.

I am 1/3 through the drafting process of the final book and the words are flowing. This is the magic of writing where I have all the pieces, but I'm not totally sure how they fit together. It's also bittersweet since it is the final book in the series.
