Below are my published children’s books—available now in paperback and digital formats—as well as two literary works currently in progress. All of them reflect the heart of my writing: memory, survival, identity, and the quiet ways truth insists on being heard.
Children’s Books
You can purchase my children’s books on Amazon in paperback or Kindle format:
All are published under my author imprint, White Feather Tales, and also available in iBook format via Apple Books. My fourth children’s book,
Coming Soon: Nicholas
Nicholas is fully edited and illustrated and will be available soon. It tells the story of a little Deaf boy’s first day of school—his worries, his bravery, and the joyful discovery that he belongs. Inspired by one of the Deaf children I had the privilege to teach, this book celebrates resilience, communication, and the quiet strength of children who navigate the world in their own way.
If you buy through Amazon, I would deeply appreciate a review—it’s one of the only ways a self-published author’s work can gain visibility.
Both literary projects are currently under consideration by agents.

The Canister Maker’s Daughter
A novel inspired by personal history
The Canister Maker’s Daughter is a literary novel that unearths a devastating family secret hidden for decades—one that rewrites not only the author’s personal history but also her place in the moral landscape of the 20th century. Blending psychological inquiry, historical detective work, and poetic memory, the narrative follows Juliana, a Hungarian-born refugee who escapes Communist Budapest with her parents in 1956, only to grow up in the shadow of a brilliant, enigmatic, and increasingly terrifying father.
For years, Juliana struggles to make sense of the emotional chaos in her family—her mother’s alcoholism, her own PTSD and crippling anxiety, and her father’s obsessive secrecy. After his death, she inherits a locked wooden box. What begins as a personal quest to understand her family’s past turns into a shattering investigation, as the contents of the box—Nazi medals, an SS badge, a name tag, and a craniometry instrument—point toward her father’s complicity in the atrocities of the Holocaust.
As she seeks verification from a Jewish museum and confirmation from estranged relatives, Juliana is forced to confront the unbearable truth: her father was not simply a survivor of history, but one of its architects. The man who raised her with lullabies and piano music may have designed the hermetically sealed Zyklon B canisters used in the gas chambers.

Twisted Steps, Broken Spirits
A memoir of spiritual coercion and survival
Twisted Steps, Broken Spirits is a literary memoir of spiritual manipulation, gendered power, and the search for self after surrendering it all. Set against the backdrop of 1980s recovery culture, it tells the true story of how, grieving the death of both parents, I was drawn into what appeared to be a 12-Step support group—but soon revealed itself to be something far more insidious.
Promising healing through obedience, the group isolated me from my friends, dismantled my sense of self, and subjected me to psychological manipulation, physical deprivation, and sexual abuse under the guise of spiritual growth. Bound by secrecy, shame, and a desperate need to belong, I became entangled in a system designed to erase me.
As the years passed, I began to see the cracks. Fueled by memory, therapy, and the refusal to stay silent, I unraveled the group’s true nature and reclaimed my voice—one word at a time. Twisted Steps, Broken Spirits is a fearless excavation of coercive control and the long, defiant journey back to autonomy.
