Jessica Barcomb has seen both sides of trauma, having survived a near-fatal accident, coma, and PTSD before becoming a craniosacral therapist to help others heal.  A writing-intensive English major from Marquette University with her master’s from Union College, she has been published in several professional publications, is a former secondary English teacher, and has been a craniosacral therapist and owner of a wellness studio for the last twenty-plus years.  She lives on a farm with her husband and three kids in upstate New York.  Coincidentally, in researching this novel, Jessica, like her character Rebecca, discovered her own ancestral background in Salem from the 1600’s, where her ancestors fled to Boston at the time of the witch trials.
