Letters from Lucca
On the heels of Sammi's grandmother’s whispered deathbed wish, a package of letters from Italy arrives at her post box. Reading them makes Sammi recall whispers she heard in childhood of her grandmother’s wartime involvement, a past that Sammi's father and aunt would rather see remain closed. As if things couldn't get any worse, her long-time boyfriend, Hunter, dumps her. However, an opportunity arises that sends her to Italy to defend her grandmother, even if the truth might shatter all she believes. In a helpful twist, Joseph, her best friend’s Italian cousin, offers to help her. Despite the obvious growing attraction between Joseph and her, she tries to suppress it as she embarks on her mission to vindicate the grandmother she loves.

The Beauty of Individual Things follows Margot Andrews, a young American woman swept from New York high society into the dazzling yet fractured world of 1920s London. When the transactional demands of privilege collide with betrayal and violence, leaving her disillusioned and adrift, she escapes to the freshwater shoreline of lost childhood summers.
With her past unrecoverable and her future uncertain, Margot searches for a different life amid Detroit’s dynamic and monied Prohibition era—with its yacht races, rumrunners, and industrial might. Set against a city on the rise, she must navigate her family’s ruthless pursuit of social standing, the magnetic pull of charismatic boat racer Ellis James, and the relentless echoes of her past. The story explores the weight of loneliness and the personal cost of love and reinvention as Margot decides whether to remain a fragile ornament of her family’s design or forge an identity that is beautiful, imperfect, and entirely her own.

Along the Trail
In 1847, Winnie and her family are traveling west to start a new life in the Oregon territory. While many in their wagon train fret over river crossings, disease, and encounters with Native tribes, she relishes the unexpected freedom of life on the trail.
Threatened by storms, wild animals, and outlaws, Winnie must rely on the bonds she's made and all she's learned in order for them to make it to Oregon alive. She also must decide if she is ready to risk forming an attachment to Hal, the cowhand who has a knack for showing up just when help is needed, or whether she will emulate Mae, the free-spirited daughter of their trail guide.

A Gilded City Series
In the Hands of Women, (June 2023) takes the reader on an electrifying ride through the dawn of the 20th century, delving into the restrictive state of women’s rights, backroom abortions, the plight of immigrants to the Lower East Side of NYC and the prison system at Blackwell’s Island, all through the voice of a young O
Threadbare, (June 2024)
is a historical novel written as a tribute to Jane Rubin’s great-grandmother,
Mathilda (Tillie), who died from a ‘woman’s disease’ in the early years of the
twentieth century. It explores the ultra-conservative late Victorian era
through a Jewish female character living among the poor, struggling to build a
garment company and pushing back against antisemitic and misogynistic values
dominating the time. She acquired wealth, only to have life upended by a cruel,
unexpected challenge.
Over There (June 2025)
brings four family members of Threadbare and In the Hands of Women, all doctors
and nurses, into The Great War, each facing down authentic challenges of the
period. Meticulously researched and crafted on four stages, the reader
experiences the jarring reality of trench warfare, magnificent rise of the
American Hospital in Paris, unimagined medical innovations owed to the
dedication of healthcare workers, and the universal, frightening impact war has
on children.
read an excerpt...
I glanced at Nurse Hammond. Her head was bent to the wood
floor, hands squeezed so tightly, I could see the white in her knuckles. The
navy muslin dress worn beneath her white apron matched the dark circles under
her eyes. I held back from the pack of students as they left the ward.
Nurse Hammond was at the end of her night shift, little time
left to hear the full story.
“Nurse, were you in delivery during the twins’ births?” I
whispered.
