Biography
Amy Hill Hearth is an American journalist and author who focuses on uniquely American stories and perspectives from the past. She is the author or co-author of eleven books, beginning in 1993 with the oral history *Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters' First 100 Years*, a *New York Times* bestseller for 117 weeks. The book was adapted for Broadway in 1995 and for a film in 1999.
An unusually versatile author, Hearth has published both fiction and nonfiction, and books for adults as well as children. What her books all have in common is a fascination with American history. Departing from her non-fiction work, Hearth wrote her first novel, *Miss Dreamsville and the Collier County Women's Literary Society* (2012), followed by a sequel, *Miss Dreamsville and the Lost Heiress of Collier County* (2015).
Hearth's tenth book is *Streetcar to Justice: How Elizabeth Jennings Won the Right to Ride in New York* (2018). Written for middle-grade to adult readers, the book is the first biography of civil rights pioneer Elizabeth Jennings Graham. Hearth's most recent work is her first historical thriller, *Silent Came the Monster: A Novel of the 1916 Jersey Shore Shark Attacks* (2023).
