The Toronto Star praised her "fine talent for putting emphasis in unexpected places."[15] while the Globe and Mail praised the stories' "admirable directness and grit".[16] The Winnipeg Review praised her for "speaking smartly, even boldly... [and]repaint [ing] the stoic male canvasses of Cheever and Carver, but with a sensing, reflective affect"[17] In May 2017, it was a named a finalist[18] for the Trillium Book Award.[19] It was also short listed[20] for the Vine Award for Canadian Jewish Literature.[21] She is currently working on a new novel and on a new collection of short stories.[22][23] She is also working on her MFA in Creative Writing at the University of Guelph.[24] She has contributed to the National Post's the Afterword,[25] The Huffington Post[26] and the 49th Shelf[27] and she was the Writer in Residence for Open Book in September 2016.[28] She is a Creative Writing instructor at University of Toronto [29] and at Humber College's School for Writers.[30] She lives in Toronto with her husband and son.[31] BibliographyShort Story Collections
