Francine Thomas Howard

Francine Thomas Howard grew up in San Francisco and has lived in the Bay Area her entire life. A love of writing came to Howard late in life. Loosely based upon a long-guarded family secret, her debut novel Page from a Tennessee Journal explores the impact of segregation and racism during the period of Jim Crow laws through the lives of two couples, one white, one black, whose lives become inextricably intertwined.
