The popular writer Thrity Umrigar is the author of seven novels and a memoir, including the bestselling novel The Space Between Us (2006). Umrigar never expected to write a sequel to this beloved novel until she caught herself pondering the fate of one of its minor characters and, in a flash, envisioned the entire plot and its intertwining characters. Already, The Secrets Between Us is attracting attention and rave reviews.

A former columnist for the Akron Beacon Journal, Umrigar is now Associate Professor of English at Case Western Reserve University. Books will be available for purchase.
