Jacquelyn Mitchard

Beginning in the terrifying darkness of a Christmas Eve tsunami, Two If by Sea takes the reader from the ravaged shores of Brisbane to the heartland of America to a quaint English village. Jacquelyn Mitchard keeps her story fully anchored in the emotions of her characters: While coping with grief, finding comfort in the fragile safety of family, daring to hope for new love, and summoning the kind of courage that can only come from protecting a child, these characters resonate with feelings and complexities we recognize as our own.

Jacquelyn Mitchard is the national bestselling author of The Breakdown Lane, Twelve Times Blessed, and The Deep End of the Ocean, which was the very first book picked by Oprah for her book club. She also has several children’s books to her credit: Baby Bat’s Lullaby, Starring Prima!, and Rosalie, My Rosalie. Jackie lives outside Madison, Wisconsin, with her husband and eight children.
