Virginia Ryan Follow

Virginia 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. Prior to writing this book, she worked as a journalist and marketer and served with the Peace Corps in Thailand. She is happiest when she’s on, in, or near the water. It helps that she lives on Cape Cod.
