Amanda Roberts

Amanda Roberts is a USA TODAY bestselling author of historical fiction exploring the lives of women too often left at the margins of history. An American who lived in China for more than a decade, she draws on her deep connection to Chinese history and culture to tell emotionally rich stories of women navigating extraordinary times.

Her novels span centuries of Chinese history, bringing palace intrigue, political upheaval, family, ambition, love, and survival to life through the women who experienced them.

When she isn't writing, Amanda teaches college writing, researches the overlooked people and events that inspire her fiction, and tries to keep up with life at home in Florida with her husband, three children, and an appropriately chaotic collection of pets.
