Jame's interest in history began with reluctance in childhood, when every school vacation involved a family trip in the paneled station wagon to museums, presidential tombs and historical monuments. She bided her time until reaching the gift shop, wondering why she couldn't go to an amusement park or the beach like everyone else. During those long car trips, she learned to write and revise in her head. Twenty years of creative writing (sometimes even on paper) and her knowledge of history come together in Three Rivers Rising, her first novel. Three Rivers Rising is on the YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults (BFYA) 2011 list and the School Library Journal Best Books of 2010 list. It is also the 2011 IRA Children's and Young Adult Book Award, Honorable Mention in the Young Adult category. Starred reviews: Kirkus and School Library Journal. Prior to publication, Three Rivers Rising won the PEN New England Children's Book Caucus 2008 Susan P. Bloom Discovery Award.
