The Three Marias

Maria Nicholiva, the middle Maria, strives to stifle her vivaciousness and creativity in a medley of maverick decisions that conclude in an accusation of murder. Maria Josephine, the youngest Maria, is so haunted by the family secret that isolation is her friend. Will the sisters' relationships and the restaurant survive their struggle with their choices and reality? A collection of the author's short stories was published in France as Eclat de Femmes and in the United States as Shouts of Women. The author was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and now lives in Austin, Texas, where she works as an attorney and teaches law.
