Marta Molnar is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of THE SECRET LIFE OF SUNFLOWERS, inspired by Johanna Bonger, the woman who preserved Vincent van Gogh’s legacy; GIRL BRAIDING HER HAIR, about groundbreaking artist Suzanne Valadon; and RAISING THE TITANIC, inspired by Titanic survivor and suffragette Helen Churchill Candee.

An art history enthusiast and self-taught artist, Marta writes uplifting, dual-timeline historical fiction about remarkable women forgotten by history. She hopes each story leaves readers with an “I can do anything!” feeling. She studied writing at Seton Hill University and, briefly, at Harvard University.

“Refusals will not kill me. Ridicule will not kill me. My feelings might be hurt, I might be embarrassed, I might want the ground to open beneath my feet, and others might wish the same for me, but I will not die. I will keep trying. I will live in gratitude, my face pointed toward the light.”
