About

H.C. Helfand has been a lawyer for more than 30 years and a writer longer than she can remember. She has published essays and an acclaimed book for children, And There Was Evening And There Was Morning. Her first two adult novels in The Arcadia Chronicles, Fee Simple Conditional and Clear and Convincing Evidence, tell stories of an attachment to land that transcends time. Influenced by her work and studies in the U.S. and Canada, her books weave details of place and the twists and turns of law that intertwine with human frailties and aspirations. Like her characters, she loves land and longs for Arcadia, the place of dreams.
