Between Before and After

Children & Youth

“Maureen’s flowing prose pulls the reader in closely to the harsh realities of life for children in 1918 New York City, but also conveys the strength of a sister’s love for her brother when everything dear to them is ripped away. The duel narratives of Molly and Elaine grip the reader in a crescendo of suspense that pays off like a favorite fairy tale.”
