Author Jennifer Coburn Discusses “Cradles of the Reich”

Author Jennifer Coburn appears at the Library to celebrate the fall 2022 publication of her new novel, Cradles of the Reich. Set in 1939, Germany is on the brink of war and Hitler’s plan to create a “master race” of pure-blooded Aryan babies has been launched. The top-secret Lebensborn Nazi breeding program is brought to life amidst the story of three German women who change the course of one another’s lives.

Coburn has also published a mother-daughter travel memoir, We’ll Always Have Paris, as well as six contemporary women’s novels. Additionally, she has contributed to five literary anthologies, including A Paris All Your Own.

Books will be sold at the event courtesy of Adventures by the Book and are available for pre-sale at adventuresbythebook.com/event/jen-coburn-launch.

Coburn lives in San Diego with her husband William. Their daughter Katie is currently in graduate school. When Jennifer is not going down historical-research rabbit holes, she volunteers with So Say We All, a live storytelling organization, for which she is a performer, producer, and performance coach. She is also an active volunteer with Reality Changers, a nonprofit that supports low-income high school students in becoming the first in their families to attend college. She specializes in college essay development and interview preparation.
