I am a retired Registered Nurse who raised three children before returning to college in my late fifties to pursue a life-long dream of becoming a writer. I earned a bachelor’s degree in liberal studies with a concentration in writing and literature from Sarah Lawrence College before earning an MFA in creative writing from Columbia University at the age of 66. My short stories can be found in online literary journals: ReviewAmericana.com and BeneaththeRainbow.com. I am currently working on a collection of short stories about writers, a novel called, “The Vatican Daughter,” and a work in progress Science fiction story called, “Mercury in Retrograde.” I live in New York with my husband, two catered to dogs, a diva cat and the four lovable stray cats who wandered into my life. My first novel, “Reinventing Jenna Rose” was published by Fat Dog Books Inc. and is now available on Amazon.com.

My Thoughts...
Victim or survivor You read and decide which one Jenna is.
I read this book very fast and was very impressed with the story and how Iraci portrayed it on paper. It was as if watching it play out on the big screen.
