Mary Lou Irace received her B.S. in Sociology from Rosemont College and her M.S. in Education from Monmouth University. After a career in higher education as a college academic advisor, she raised a family. In recent years, she became a contemporary fiction author.

​

She loves writing about women and the journeys that lead them through the joys and challenges of life, always with a positive, happy ending. The themes in her current books include love, loss, grief, navigating workplace and family relationships, milestones, and miracles. 

​

When she's not writing, Mary Lou enjoys spending time at the beach in New Jersey with her husband, two grown daughters, an adorable grandson, and a feisty dog named Gigi.
