Meet my main characters! With Across a Broken Shore I was very lucky. From the beginning, both Sam & Willa came to me fully formed. I knew their passions. The lies they told themselves. Most importantly, I understood the secrets they were keeping. Knowing all this made it very easy to share details with amazing artist @francadraws who did a brilliant job of bringing them to life! More on Across a Broken Shore: The last thing eighteen-year-old Wilhelmina “Willa” MacCarthy wants is to be a nun. It’s 1936, and as the only daughter amongst four sons, her Irish–Catholic family is counting on her to take her vows—but Willa’s found another calling. Each day she sneaks away to help Doctor Katherine Winston in her medical clinic in San Francisco’s Richmond District. Keeping secrets from her family only becomes more complicated when Willa agrees to help the doctor at a field hospital near the new bridge being built over the Golden Gate. Willa thinks she can handle her new chaotic life, but as she draws closer to a dashing young ironworker and risks grow at the bridge, she discovers that hiding from what she truly wants may be her biggest lie of all.
