Her earlier books include the novel EXCLUSIVE and MUDDY CUP: A DOMINICAN FAMILY COMES OF AGE IN A NEW AMERICA, a work of narrative nonfiction. She is currently writing a nonfiction book about her son, Daniel Mulvaney, as he enters the adult world while battling -- and sometimes reveling in -- severe autism.

She was a Newsday staff reporter for years and her journalism has also been published in the New Yorker, the New York Times, the Boston Globe, WigWag and numerous other magazines and newspapers. She has taught journalism at New York University and at Adelphi University and wrote the Not Calm political column for Fox News Online, where she enraged many readers with her "liberal" views.
