About the Author:

Award-winning author Mary Kay Zuravleff has published four novels. Her most recent, American Ending, was an Oprah Spring Book pick and a finalist for the Langum Prize for American Historical Fiction. That book was inspired by both sets of her grandparents, Russian Orthodox Old Believers who lived in an Appalachian coal-mining town, and especially by her paternal grandmother, who was born in America and lost her citizenship for marrying her Russian-born spouse. She taught graduate students at numerous universities and has had the pleasure of teaching fiction workshops at Chautauqua, Key West, and Interlochen.
