About the authors: Gin Ryan was born in Fall River, Massachusetts, then a dying mill town that inspired escape. It has since been resurrected. She writes fiction and essays and is drawn to stories of complicated families, imperfect heroines, and loss. THE HEALER OF CORKY ROW is her debut novel. She has worked as a journalist and marketing professional and served with the Peace Corps in Thailand. She is happiest when she is on or near the water. Cape Cod is her happy place!
