Gay Courter

Gay Courter's first bestseller--THE MIDWIFE--sold more than 3 million copies and started a new genre of midwife and birth novels and autobiographies. Most of her other novels have spent time on the New York Times, Washington Post, and other national and international bestseller lists. \n\nReaders mention loving her strong, women characters living unusual lives in exotic locations. CODE EZRA, the story of three women Israeli spies, is even more relevant today because of the of its accurate depiction of the issues in the Middle East that explain the on-going hostilities there.\n\nFLOWERS IN THE BLOOD is Courter's current bestseller that deals with opium historically but echoes the opioid epidemic of today.\n\nAll her novels--as well as her Pulitzer-prize nominated memoir I SPEAK FOR THIS CHILD: TRUE STORIES OF A CHILD ADVOCATE are available both as ebooks and print editions.
