Her first, The Transfer, follows a former NSA intelligence analyst — a woman trained to recognize deception in other people's communications — who is methodically defrauded by a romance scammer and finds herself stranded in Kyiv with her Vizsla and the ruins of her financial life. It is a book about what happens when you know exactly how manipulation works and walk directly into it anyway. And about what it takes to walk back out.

Her second, Jones Hole: On Rivers, Reverence, and the Harm in Loving Things, is a lyrical memoir set on the Green River below Flaming Gorge Dam in Utah. It follows her from her first float trip in her early thirties — when she quit her job at Apple and went back to learn to row a dory — through her years as the first female guide on the river, through the building and losing of a dream house on a mountainside above Flaming Gorge Reservoir, to the afternoon she stood in Jones Hole Creek and released her father's ashes into the water he had loved his entire life. It is not a fishing book. It is a book about reverence — what it means to love something completely, and what happens when you finally see it clearly enough to understand the harm inside the love.
