Praise for The Girl from Oto:

"An exquisite novel." — Martha Conway, North American Book Award-winning author of Thieving Forest

"From the very beginning I was enthralled with Mira, Zari, and their entwined journeys through history and the world of art. As a curator and art historian, it's a rare treat for me to find a novel that so lovingly reflects our joys and challenges. The Girl from Oto delivers—and I can't wait to spend more time with Mira." — Jennifer Dasal, host of the ArtCurious podcast

"A powerful story and an intriguing mystery. A Red Ribbon winner and highly recommended." — The Wishing Shelf Book Awards

Praise for Mira's Way:

"Mira's Way takes you on a breathless journey through Spain and France, in the company of two determined women, separated by five centuries. A brilliant read." — Deborah Swift, author of The Lady's Slipper

"A stand-alone story that grips from start to finish." —Historical Novel Society
