edit data

Jillian Medoff is the author of five novels. Her sixth, THE LIFE OR DEATH COMMITTEE (1/19/27), is set in Seattle, circa 1961, and explores who has the right to live and who should decide. At its heart, the book is a character-driven story about relationships: our passions, secrets, our betrayals, and all the ways we try and try and fail and try again to love.
