Since 2006, Donna Jones Alward has enchanted readers with stories of happy endings and homecomings that have won awards and been translated into over a dozen languages. She’s worked as an administrative assistant, teaching assistant, in retail and as a stay-at-home-mom, but is now happy to be a full-time writer. Her historical fiction tales blend her love of history with characters who step beyond their biggest fears to claim the lives they desire. Donna lives in Nova Scotia. You can often find her near the water, either kayaking on the lake or walking the beaches to refill her creative well.
