Mary Hogan is the author of Two Sisters, and Left, a love story about a woman who slowly retreats into a fantasy world as she loses her once whip-smart husband to dementia. Her historical novel based on the Johnstown Flood of 1889, The Woman in the Photo, tells a resonant story of class and catastrophe. Previous young adult novels include The Serious Kiss, Perfect Girl, and Pretty Face. Married to veteran TV and stage actor Robert Hogan until his death in 2021, she lives in New York City with their Catahoula Leopard rescue dog.
