Carol Gordon Ekster's first published children's book, Where Am I Sleeping Tonight?-A Story of Divorce, Boulden Publishing, 2008, was inspired by one special former 4th grade student who lived the schedule described in the book. The book was a finalist for About.com's Readers'Choice Awards for Best Children's Book for Single Parent Families, 2012. After 12 years it went out of print, but Mazo Publishers brought it back to life in 2021 with a new title: Where Am I Sleeping Tonight?: Kids Coming To Terms With Divorce. Another of her stories was in Library Sparks magazine, February 2010. And her picture book, Ruth the Sleuth and the Messy Room, on the debut list of Character Publishing, December 2011, received the Children's Literary Classics Seal of Approval in July 2013. This title has been reprinted with Mazo Publishers 2018.
