Susan Brady Burd is a librarian who always dreamed of finding her own book amongst the shelves. Her first book The Doctoress was inspired by her journey recovering the health of her children using alternative medicine, and specifically homeopathy. She lives near Buffalo, NY with her husband and two sons where she spends the long winters reading by the fireplace and the summers biking along the shores of Lake Erie. Currently she is hard at work on a completely different historical fiction novel set in the Sixties, inspired by the work of Joan Didion.
