About the Author

A cosmetics and fashion company executive in her early career, she had her first novel published by Doubleday when she was in her fifties. She followed that with a string of international best-selling novels with strong women as protagonists. Each heroine must go on her own journey for happiness. These books won her a popular following among millions of readers.
