Tamar Ossowski is the daughter of Holocaust survivors and the mother of three children, one of whom was born with special needs. She is fascinated with the concept of fate, and whether we arrive where we are as a result of our choices, or in spite of them.

Ossowski is the author of two books, Left and Fractured, and is currently working on her third novel, tentatively titled Ghost. She lives in Massachusetts with her family and her two cats, whom she is convinced hold the answers to all of life’s mysteries, or at least the important ones!

“squeezed her hand tighter and she turned toward the window. I tried not to think about leaving our grandmother’s house or how our mother stuffed our things into garbage bags that got so big and misshapen,”
Tamar Ossowski, Left

“Thank you to all the ones who fill the fractures With love With hope With comfort. But especially to the ones who teach you that, without those fractures, you cannot become the person you are meant to be.”
Tamar Ossowski, Fractured: A Novel

“traffic, which made her drum faster and harder, and then I felt it coming like a volcano about to erupt, the letters, mostly A’s and R’s sitting inside the rounds of my cheeks, readying themselves to pop out. Big and unwieldy, making my lips ache, but then just as they were about to slip past, Matilda reached”
Tamar Ossowski, Left

“Motherhood is about raising and celebrating the child you have, not the child you thought you would have. It's about understanding that he is exactly the person he is supposed to be. And that, if you're lucky, he just might be the teacher who turns you into the person you are supposed to be.”
Joan Ryan, The Water Giver: The Story of a Mother, a Son, and Their Second Chance
