The novel was published in five countries and it was included on several “Best of 2012” lists, including the Apple iBookstore.

Her third novel, The Unseen World, was published by W.W. Norton in July of 2016. It is about a moving story of a daughter's search to discover the truth about her beloved father's hidden past.
