About

I write features, reviews, and essays for The New York Times, National Geographic, Aeon, Mosaic, Slate, and other publications. I am also the author of three books, as well as the Atavist hit My Mother’s Lover, which tells the long-hidden story of my mother's secret WWII affair with a flight surgeon. MML became a # 1 best-selling Kindle Single and was chosen in 2014 by readers as their favorite Atavist publication. You can keep track of me at Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, and Facebook.
