Inspired by people and events from her own family's background, Luminita's historical fiction novel, The House of Spark, is a story that takes place after the fall of the Romanian monarchy in 1947 and its transition to communism under Stalin fracturing the Romanian culture.Luminita believes a great book is one that the reader can't put down, keeping them engaged and wondering what's going to happen next. She hopes readers take away from her story that although life is not always easy, we are stronger together with the people who love us and that it leaves them with a feeling of courage long after the book is closed.Now living in Orange Park, Florida, when she isn't writing about important times in her culture and family's history, Luminita enjoys cooking, reading, playing chess and backgammon, traveling, and riding her tricycle. A hard worker with enormous determination, Luminita moved to the United States knowing very little about it. After raising three children, with fortitude and the help of kind people in her life, bringing this story to life is her American dream. The House of Spark is her debut novel, dedicated to her grandchild, who, at the age of six, underwent a successful heart transplant.ver menos
