Trenton Takes

Suzanne Snyder-Carroll was born and raised in Trenton, New Jersey, a place that has hovered for decades between glorious and gritty. When she left for college she swore she’d never come back. But after graduating from Glassboro State College, she returned to Trenton to teach English in Junior High School Number One and Trenton Central High School. After twelve years she transferred to the suburbs and Hopewell Valley Central High School where she continued her career until retiring to write. Her connections to Trenton have had a profound affect on her life, and to this day the city remains an integral part of both her intellectual and imaginative perspectives. She often mines her memories of the place and its citizens for material for her novels. Her latest work, Trenton Takes, and her upcoming title, Catch Me Some Sky, are both set in the her beloved hometown, crumbling and glistening all at once.
