Inglath Cooper

About

RITA Award-winning author Inglath Cooper has written 9 published novels and 1 novella.  She fell in love with books as soon as she learned how to read. “When I was a little girl, we had a black-and-white TV with rabbit ears. Needless to say, it didn’t pick up a lot! I spent a good deal of time with my nose in a book. I think I read most of the books in my elementary school library.”

That love for books translated into a natural love for writing and a desire to create stories that other readers could get lost in, just as she had gotten lost in her favorite books.  Her stories focus on the dynamics of relationships, those between a man and a woman, mother and daughter, sisters, friends. They most often take place in small Virginia towns very much like the one where she grew up and are peopled with characters who reflect those values and traditions. 

“There’s something about small-town life that’s just part of who I am. I’ve had the desire to live in other places, wondered what it would be like to be a true Manhattanite, but the thing I know I would miss is the familiarity of faces everywhere I go. There’s a lot to be said for going in the grocery store and seeing ten people you know!”

Her passion for writing has most recently translated into songwriting which she considers a natural extension of her love of storytelling.

Story Behind The Book

Truths and Roses is a story of my heart. Pieces of my childhood show up here in the fictional lives of Hannah Jacobs, Will Kincaid, Jenny Dudley and Henry Lawson. They're just good souls with their own battles to fight and hurdles to overcome. And while these characters aren't based on anyone I've actually known, they are comprised of the many wonderful qualities I've admired in people I grew up with. Kindness, humility, tenacity, compassion and determination. In reading about them, I hope you come to love them as much as I loved writing about them.

Inglath Cooper is one of my favorite Harlequin authors, and she never disappoints. The story is intense at times, dealing with the issue of adopted children, and a situation that will hurt many people in the long run if it is played out.
