Major Selling Points

• The Bereaved is a Sophie’s Choice story of a
  woman’s treatment and a mother’s lack of options in the late 1850s in New York
  City as the Civil War foments and erupts.
• A genealogical detective as well as an accomplished writer, Julia
  Park Tracey brings to life her ancestors in story, and this is her niche. The
  Bereaved originated from a discovered ticket from the Orphan Train among
  her grandfather’s artifacts and research led to a missing great grandmother,
  which brought forth this untold and beautifully imagined novel about an even
  darker side of the Orphan Train.
• The lover of historical fiction will be immersed in 1859, from the
  gritty rendering of the filthy streets and crowded tenement housing of New York
  City to the woman crafts in which Martha excels and tries to parlay into income
  to support her family after her husband’s death. Each detail, from the lay of
  the land to the neighbors in the tenement, is historically accurate and makes the
  story compellingly real. 
• Author Julia Park Tracey is well known in Alameda, Sonoma, and
  Nevada counties in California where she has worked as a magazine editor,
  columnist, writer, and now as Executive Editor for Sibylline Press.
• The author is social media maven with thousands of followers on
  Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
• Book Clubs will have a field day navigating the choices facing a
  woman in 1859, including the rights to her own body and the guardianship of her
  own children.
• Readers can expect a new novel Fall 2024, showcasing another woman
  ancestor from the Puritan and witchcraft era of 1725.
• Park Tracey has a Master’s Degree in Early 20th Century British
  Literature, and is an alumna of the Community of Writers (at Palisades/Tahoe),
  Lit Camp, and Napa Valley Writers’ programs. As an editor, she has developed
  and edited hundreds of writers’ works.
• “Julia Park Tracey’s The Bereaved is a novel that weaves
  its intimately detailed characters into your soul. At once heart-breaking,
  heartwarming, and absolutely beautiful, this is a story that captures the
  devastation of loss and the power of enduring hope.” —Lauren Hough, author of
  Leaving Isn’t the Hardest Thing
