ECPA bestselling author Amanda Barratt fell in love with writing in grade school when she wrote her first story--a spinoff of Jane Eyre. Now, Amanda writes romantic, historical fiction, penning stories of beauty and brokenness set against the backdrop of bygone eras not so very different from our own. She's the author of over a dozen novels and novellas, including My Dearest Dietrich: A Novel of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Lost Love. Two of her novellas have been finalists in the FHL Reader's Choice Awards. Amanda lives in the woods of Michigan with her fabulous family, where she can be found reading way too many books, plotting her next novel, and jotting down imaginary travel itineraries for her dream vacation to Europe. She loves hearing from readers on Facebook and through her website amandabarratt.net
