Revelations is her first novel. It is inspired by family stories she heard growing up in a multi-generational home with her great-grandmother, maternal grandparents and parents. Fascinated by anecdotal tales they told about family and friends, she researched people and events they described. Then, she wove what she had heard and what she learned into a realistic fictional narrative, incorporating actual historical facts.
