Behind every story of resilience is a moment when history left its mark.

On February 2, 1928, a devastating fire swept through five blocks of downtown Fall River, Massachusetts, leaving the ruins entirely encased in thick ice after firefighters battled the inferno in sub-zero temperatures.

If you have questions about the historical events that shape my writing, from the enduring strength of our ancestors to the frozen ruins of the 1928 Fall River fire, I would love to connect.
