Leigh K Cunningham is a lawyer with a career as a senior executive for a number of public companies in her home country of Australia. She has master’s degrees in law and commerce, as well as an MBA (International Management).
RAIN, a multi-generational family saga is Leigh's first title for the adult fiction market. Set in provincial Australia in the early sixties, RAIN is an epic tale that spans four decades and crosses the globe. It explores the often difficult but enduring ties between mothers and daughters, men and women: the sacrifices, compromises, and patterns of emotion that repeat themselves through generations. By chronicling the choices that comprise one family’s history, Rain delivers an emotionally charged revelation about love, loss, guilt, self-discovery and redemption. The enduring question of family bonds, escapable or not, divides, conquers, and triumphs.
The Glass Table and its sequel, Shards, Leigh's first two titles, are recipients of silver medals from the Mom's Choice Awards. The third book in the series is in progress.
