N.J. Mastro - FULL!
author of "Solitary Walker: A Novel of Mary Wollstonecraft" at Caffe Piccolo.
""Never apologize for being a strong woman. When life becomes difficult, a woman has two options: run the other way, or walk through the flames. It's the women who walk through the flames I want to talk about. I write and explore historical fiction that brings their stories to life. History includes an abundance of women who stood in the face of danger, who spoke truth to power, who put everything on the line and pressed for change. These female forbearers teach us it's okay, even necessary sometimes, to push against the grain. One such woman was Mary Wollstonecraft, the subject of my debut novel 'Solitary Walker.' No one more than Wollstonecraft exemplifies what Maya Angelou once said, 'Each time a woman stands up for herself, without knowing it possibly, without claiming it, she stands up for all women.'" Readers of biographical fiction will embrace this carefully researched novel about the woman historians widely consider the world's first feminist. Told against the backdrop of Wollstonecraft's incredible rise as a writer, the French Revolution, and a solo journey along the remote shores of Scandinavia, "Solitary Walker" is the timeless story of a woman forging her own path."
