We are thrilled to welcome Ami Sands Brodoff to CookeMcDermid.

Ami Sands Brodoff is the award-winning author of three novels and two volumes of stories. THE SLEEP OF APPLES, her volume of stories, was a finalist for The International Book Awards. The collection centers on nine closely-linked narrators who confront crises related to mental illness, mortality, and gender identity.

Ami’s novel, IN MANY WATERS, grapples with our worldwide refugee crisis. THE WHITE SPACE BETWEEN, which focuses on a mother and daughter struggling with the impact of the Holocaust, won The Canadian Jewish Book Award for Fiction (The Vine Award). BLOODKNOTS, a volume of thematically-linked stories about the ties that bind us together and the ones that unravel without warning, was a finalist for The Re-Lit Award.

Ami leads creative writing workshops to teens, adults, and seniors and was a workshop leader in the StoryScaping Program providing creative writing classes for teens and seniors in underserved areas of Quebec. She has also taught writing to formerly incarcerated women and to people grappling with mental illness. Her recently completed novel, TREASURES THAT PREVAIL, explores the mystery and mysticism surrounding Hasidism as well as what love and faith mean.
