True Stories. Well Written.

Born into a family with lake properties and trust funds, but raised on food stamps, Deb climbed out of poverty to high-level work on Capitol Hill.

Deb has:

• Picked apples and written legislation to clean up nuclear waste;

• Toured underground bunkers in Iraq;

• Been held at gunpoint in the Kremlin; 

• Uncovered government malfeasance toward US veterans;

• Raised billions of dollars for the UN and global health causes; 

• Served as a Foreign Service “trailing spouse;” and 

• Raised three awesome human beings.

Deb gravitates toward stories about people overcoming disasters. Her latest book, The Secrets We Shared, is the tale of discovering—at the age of fifty-five—that her father was a sociopath.
