About Barbara

I’m a Jersey girl raised in the south, now living and writing in New England. Confused? Constantly. Happy? Deliriously! But then, living your dream will do that! After fifteen years of wearing heels and schlepping a briefcase as an executive in the jewelry industry, I traded in my pinstripes for a little peace of mind, and decided to follow my dream of being a women’s fiction author. And what a ride it’s been!

FULL BIO

About Every Precious and Fragile Thing

Helen, a death doula with a deep and inexplicable sense of duty, sees her daughter’s return as a chance for redemption, until a journal filled with damning revelations surfaces, setting mother and daughter on a collision course with the truth—and a shocking confession that could threaten their fragile bond forever.
