I am often asked about my motivation to write The Nash Sisters series. Most of the time my answer includes things like:
“I like to tell stories.”
“My family has provided lots of material.”
“I love to explore history.”
“My journals are full of observations of friendship, family, joy, and sadness.”
I recently ran across something Robert Frost said in 1916 about how a poem begins for him.
There it was!
Ethel Nash rose from my wonder of what it might be like to survive as a young single mother in the age of war, poverty, intolerance, and grief. Then came her sisters who would be the best and sometimes only way to hang on.
