M.G. LoRod-Author

M. G. LoRod is a writer and family historian whose work is inspired by the stories that families carry from one generation to the next. Her debut novel, The Ones Who Stayed, is a sweeping family saga rooted in Chicago’s Italian-American community, exploring love, loss, sacrifice, survival, and the lasting bonds of family. Drawing inspiration from her own family history, LoRod brings the past to life while honoring the people whose stories might otherwise be forgotten.
