Her name is Sara Cohen, she is a doctor specializing in brain disorders and she is tired of keeping the secret. The author of the literary saga "The Maid", which has sold millions of books worldwide, has become one of the most impactful best-sellers in recent years and has had a homonymous film starring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried, has revealed her true identity to the American newspaper USA Today". Until now, Cohen was hiding behind the pseudonym Freida McFadden. "I'm at a point in my career where I'm tired of this being a secret, of people debating whether I'm a real person or if I'm three men. I have nothing to hide," says the writer. The revelation comes shortly before the publication of the next book, "Dear Debbie" (in Catalan by Rosa dels Vents), and the confirmation of the second film of "The Maid", which Sweeney will once again star in.

Freida McFadden is not her real name, but a pseudonym. There is some controversy over whether in her very few appearances, almost always via video call, she wears a wig to preserve her image and privacy. Be that as it may, the American writer is a hit, especially with the novels in the series. The housemaid (The assistant in the translations published in Catalan by Rosa dels Vents). According to Penguin Random House, McFadden has sold more than nine million copies, her books have been translated into more than forty languages, and the rights to adapt them for film and television have been acquired.
