Winner of the Arizona Author Award, the novel also was a finalist for the Willa Cather Literary Award. Nancy’s most recent novel, Light Changes Everything, revisits Arizona Territory through Sarah Prine’s niece, Mary Pearl, in 1907. Nancy is the author of four additional works of historical fiction: Sarah’s Quilt, The Star Garden, The Water and the Blood, and My Name is Resolute.
