Groton Reads 2025 Author Allison Pataki discusses Finding Margaret Fuller and historical fiction with fellow Author Kerri Maher (who will be visiting on her own on Tue. April 1!)

Allison Pataki is a New York Times Bestselling author with a passion for telling the stories of leading ladies lost in history. Her sixth historical novel, The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post (2022) was an instant bestseller. In Finding Margaret Fuller, she offers readers an epic reimagining of the life of Margaret Fuller – America’s forgotten leading lady and the central figure of a movement that defined a nation. Her wish? "I hope you’ll have as much fun reading my books as I have writing them!"

In addition to adult fiction, Allison writes adult nonfiction (Beauty in the Broken Places: A Memoir of Love, Faith, and Resilience) and children’s books (Nelly Takes New York and Poppy Takes Paris.) A former news writer and producer, Allison has written for The New York Times, ABC News, USA Today, Fox News, and other outlets. She has appeared on every popular talk show in America.

Kerri Maher is the USA Today bestselling author of All You Have To Do Is Call, The Paris Bookseller, The Girl in White Gloves, The Kennedy Debutante, and, under the name Kerri Majors, This Is Not a Writing Manual: Notes for the Young Writer in the Real World. She holds an MFA from Columbia University and lives with her daughter and dog in a leafy suburb west of Boston, Massachusetts.
