Jacqueline Friedland is the USA Today and Amazon bestselling author of both historical and contemporary women’s fiction. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and NYU Law School, she practiced as a commercial litigator for as long as she could stand it. She then returned to school to earn her Masters of Fine Arts in creative writing from Sarah Lawrence College and has been writing ever since.
Counting Backwards: Jacqueline Friedland’s novel reminds us that progress for women’s rights is rarely a straight line and that advocacy is necessary for change. The story alternates between the past and present of two remarkable women tackling timeless issues such as reproductive rights, incarceration and society’s expectations of women and mothers.
