A word about the author…
Joyce grew up in Minnesota and attended college and grad school in Chicago. After working in mental health, she retired at a young age to write full-time. Her first book, Eliza, was published in 2012.
She is a Hearts through History winner for her hero in Amaryllis. When she isn’t writing, she loves to swim, nature walk, and is a crossword puzzle fanatic.
Along with her husband, she winters in Florida and enjoys summers in Minnesota, in her very own little house on the prairie.
