Floridians convinced her to add Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings to her repertoire, and she moved to the state in order to do her research. She has since toured 43 states presenting Humanities programs on women authors (including five with Florida connections), homelessness in literature, Ernest Hemingway, America at War, Jim Crow Florida, and marriage equality. In 2004, she was named a Fellow in Florida Studies at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg. Her book about Willa Cather, Long Road from Red Cloud, was awarded the 2020 International Book Award for biography.
