Laura Brodie, Ph.D.

Laura Brodie is a novelist, memoirist and visiting professor of English at Washington and Lee University. Her books include The Widow's Season, Breaking Out: VMI and the Coming of Women, and Love in a Time of Homeschooling: A Mother and Daughter's Uncommon Year (Harper 2010). When she's not writing fiction, teaching Jane Austen, or raising three daughters, she blogs about short-term homeschooling-how parents are using home education as a chance to spend more time with their children, solve short-term school problems, and take a break from homework overload or test-prep burnout. She welcomes readers to contact her through her laurabrodieauthor.com.
