Author.

In 2023, Diane finally realized her dream of writing a novel when she released I Never Called Him Pa to rave reviews. It won the National Indie Excellence Award for Finalist in the Best Cover category.

I Never Called Him Pa is a coming-of-age novel set in the 1950s. It’s told in the voice of a young fatherless boy living on a farm in Northern Illinois raised by his grandmother and wayward mother.

After WWII, the military sent men home on trains. Some never got off. They rode the rails in boxcars, searching for their souls lost to the toils of society or the ravages of war. Ernest, one such man of color, comes to live with a weary widow. Along with her young grandson, and her wayward daughter on a farm by the tracks in Northern Illinois. Their sins and secrets could either drive them apart or bind them together. Take a journey you will never forget in I Never Called Him Pa, by Diane Kane.
