Patricia Sands lives in Toronto, Canada, when she isn't somewhere else. An admitted travel fanatic, she can pack a bag in a flash and be ready to go anywhere, particularly the South of France. Her award-winning debut novel, The Bridge Club, was published in 2010, and her second novel, The Promise of Provence, was an Amazon Hot New Release in April 2013, a USA Best Book 2013 finalist, and a 2013 finalist in Literary Fiction at the National Indie Excellence Awards. Celebrating the rewarding friendships and bonds women share, her stories examine the challenges life often throws in our paths.
