Set in early 20th-century Pittsburgh, Lara Brenckle Malmont's Three Rivers Home brings us the life and times of Francesco "Frankie" Fortunato, on Sunbury's Milford House imprint.

The tale of a tenacious orphan, Frankie overcomes loss while battling callous adults, corrupt systems that care nothing for children such as himself. All the while, Frankie promises to reunite with his siblings.

A Pittsburgh native, Lara Brenckle Malmont brings Frankie and other colorful characters to life, specializing in stories about the people and places that call us home. A manga cum laude graduate of the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University, Malmont is an award-winning newspaper reporter before transitioning to corporate communications. She lives in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
