Táto autorka čerpá inšpiráciu pre svoje diela z hlbokej lásky k Apalačským horám a ich obyvateľom, kde žije už siedmou generáciou svojej rodiny. Jej písanie odráža divokú, hmlistú krásu a jedinečného ducha tohto regiónu. Prostredníctvom svojich príbehov sa snaží čitateľov nadchnúť pre krajinu a ľudí, ktorých nazýva domovom.
