Rhett Lawson writes historical fiction set at the heart of tyranny and disaster — where ordinary people are caught in extraordinary collapse, and where love becomes the only thing worth fighting for.
Her debut novel True Freedom is set in the shadow of the Romanov fall, WWI, in the villages of Tula oblast, where peasant farmers and Orthodox merchants lived lives the history books never bothered to record.
