Fiction Set in the Past

Just released!

Growing Up Ivy.

Ivy, dearest,

The rent on Shangri-La is paid for tonight but in the morning you must go to Gloria at the diner. She will take you to your grandmother. … you will have a glorious time with her. … I will send you my address the minute I am settled in New York.”

When twelve-year-old Ivy Chalmers leaves Depression-era Toronto for a rural village, she is sure her mother will one day return. The adventures that come her way are not at all what she is expecting. You won’t want to miss her exciting and moving story, in Growing Up Ivy.
