It was an article about the Juliet Club in Verona, Italy and their volunteers answering letters from the broken hearted that fired up Ingrid’s imagination, helping her frame the story. German-born, Ottawa, Canada based Ingrid McCarthy is increasingly becoming a fan favourite among those who love to read. After a 33-year career in the theatre as…
