She holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from Columbia University and has extensive experience in the field of writing. Maher has been teaching writing for eight years and has founded a literary journal called YARN. Currently, she lives just outside of Boston with her daughter and dog, where she enjoys apple picking and long walks in the woods.
Maher has made a significant impact in the literary world with her popular historical fiction novels. She made her debut in 2018 with the widely popular book, "The Kennedy Debutante." Her subsequent novel, "The Girl in White Gloves," has also received much acclaim. At present, Maher is working on developing her third book, "The Paris Bookseller," which is based on the famous Shakespeare & Company bookstore in Paris, owned by Sylvia Beach. The bookstore was known for being the meeting point of the American writers of the Lost Generation, and Beach was the first to publish James Joyce's "Ulysses" after it had been banned in New York in 1921.
