Pat Winter Books

Pat Winter's writing delves into history and human stories, inspired by a childhood spent telling tales and a belief in the power of immediate narrative. Her work, particularly focused on the 'human story' of the Great River Road from prehistory through 1865, brings the past to life with a vividness she admired in Mark Twain. Her background in journalism and documentary television informs her approach, grounding her historical fiction in meticulously observed detail. Winter's narratives explore pivotal historical periods and the personal experiences that shaped the river's landscape and the people within it.
