Rachel Rueckert is an award-winning writer, editor, and teacher. She holds an MFA from Columbia University and an M.Ed from Boston University. On a visit to Provincetown, Massachusetts, she learned about the true events behind IF THE TIDE TURNS and vowed to write Maria and Sam's story. She returns to Cape Cod regularly for research and freedom in the shape of solace. This is her debut novel, though she continues to excavate fascinating real pirates—such as Mary Read and Anne Bonny—from the sands of history. She is also the author of the memoir EAST WINDS (BCC Press, 2022) and a historical novel called THE DETERMINED (Kensington Books, 2025).
