About the Author:
Splitting her time between Cape Cod, New Hampshire, and snowbird destinations, a tablet becomes Janis Robinson Daly’s library and desk, packed for reading and writing, wherever she might land.
Inspired by the discovery that an ancestor founded the Woman’s Medical College of PA in 1850, Daly wrote her first novel, The Unlocked Path, which celebrates pioneering women doctors at the turn of the 20th Century. Its sequel, The Path Beneath Her Feet, honors the work of the American Women’s Hospitals in rural America during the 1930s.
The Unlocked Path and The Path Beneath Her Feet were both named a #1 New Release for US History on Amazon upon their release, both received an Honorable Mention for General Fiction from the New England Book Festival Awards, and The Unlocked Path was named a finalist for the 2023 Goethe Awards of Late Historical Fiction from the Chanticleer International Book Awards, The Path Beneath Her Feet took First Place awards for the 2024 Goethe Awards.
