KRISTIN BECK writes historical women’s fiction. The granddaughter of a World War II nurse, Kristin has long been fascinated by the unsung role of women in history. Her forthcoming debut novel, COURAGE, MY LOVE (Berkley/Penguin, 2021), tells the story of women fighting in the Italian resistance during World War II, risking their lives as couriers, saboteurs, and spies.

When not writing or diving down research rabbit holes, Kristin loves to garden, hike, and read – especially with her children. She can often be found buying far too many books at local bookstores, drinking far too much coffee, and getting lost in the Pacific Northwest woods and mountains.
