Kathryn Holzman, Author

THE COST OF ELECTRICITY
Progress is painful, and independence comes at a cost. She wouldn’t have it any other way.
Lulu, the daughter of pioneers, enters the University of Oregon in 1902. She aspires to be modern, as free to love as the romantic poets and as committed to equality as the suffragettes. Her journey—from the University to Portland, where she edits a literary magazine, to Hollywood, where she faces down her demons—is the story of a new century fueled by electricity.

A Mi’kmaw boy’s only chance for survival after kidnapping a Nova Scotia settler lies in the hands of a colonist’s rebellious daughter.

Family is not always destiny and houses are sometimes more than a home.
Holzman’s accomplished prose propels her beleaguered characters through tragedies and watershed moments. There’s much to enjoy in this well-constructed sketch of people constrained by their family and their choices.
