A.J. Sidran­sky writes about ordi­nary peo­ple faced with extra­or­di­nary sit­u­a­tions and events. His work, includ­ing For­giv­ing Max­i­mo Roth­man, For­giv­ing Stephen Red­mond, For­giv­ing Mariela Cama­cho and The Inter­preter, has been described as a mys­tery wrapped in his­to­ry and tied in a bow with a lit­tle romance.
