"Immersive, enchanting, and gripping, In A Far-Off Land is do-not-miss historical fiction." -Patti Callahan, NYT Bestselling author of Becoming Mrs. Lewis
It's 1931 in Hollywood, and Minerva Sinclaire is on the run for a murder she didn't commit.
As the Great Depression hits the Midwest, Minerva Sinclaire runs away to Hollywood, determined to make it big and save the family farm. But beauty and moxie don't pay the bills in Tinseltown, and she's caught in a downward spiral of poverty, desperation, and compromise. Finally, she's about to sign with a major studio and make up for it all. Instead, she wakes up next to a dead film star and is on the run for a murder she didn't commit.
Only two unwilling men¿Oscar, a Mexican gardener in danger of deportation, and Max, a too-handsome agent battling his own demons¿can help Mina escape corrupt police on the take and the studio big shots trying to frame her. But even her quick thinking and grit can't protect her from herself. Alone, penniless, and carrying a shameful secret, Mina faces the consequences of the heartbreaking choices that brought her to ruin . . . and just might bring her back to where she belongs.

[that] will keep readers hooked to the last page."
Stephanie makes her home in Wisconsin with her husband, three ferocious cats, and a neurotic dog. Along with reading, writing, and research, she dreams about her next travel adventure-whether it be in person or on the page.
