I've been incredibly fortunate to have Martha Hall Kelly, author of the instant New York Times best seller Lilac Girls, as part of our team. She spent ten years researching Ravensbrück, the "Rabbits," and their American heroine, Caroline Ferriday. This April, Martha released her second New York Times best seller, Lost Roses, the first of two prequels to Lilac Girls, which takes place in WWI and tells the story of Caroline’s mother Eliza’s fight to help Russian refugees displaced by the revolution there.
