PEYTON MARSHALL is a graduate of the Iowa Writers' Workshop. GOODHOUSE is partly inspired by her research into the Preston School of Industry, a juvenile reform school founded in California in 1890. Its aim was to elevate the minds of young offenders and provide them with job skills that would keep them out of adult prison. The memoirs of former studens evidence a much more brutal experience. Marshall lives in Oregon with her husband, the writer Pauls Toutonghi. GOODHOUSE is her debut novel. Find out more at www.peytonmarshall.com
