Carole Penfield

Carole Penfield writes immersive historical fiction set in 17th-century Europe, where faith, family, and survival collide.

Her Midwife Chronicles series is a sweeping family saga following a Huguenot family torn apart during the persecutions of King Louis XIV—stories of courage, sacrifice, enduring bonds, and the long road to reunion.

A lifelong lover of history and the novels of Jane Austen, Carole brings the past to life through richly drawn characters, female friendships, and emotional storytelling. She lives in Northern Arizona with her husband and two overly friendly cats.
