Come say hi on Insta!

Happiest of book birthdays to the incredibly talented @lauraosibson and THE ART OF BREAKING THINGS!! 🎉💖 I blurbed this baby and so I’ll let me speak for myself: “This book is a battle cry for the silent, scared, and shattered places inside us. Unflinching and lionhearted, this powerful novel is going to change lives and steal hearts.” 📖 I stand by my words! You can grab a copy of this beauty anywhere books are sold!
Last couple of days in AZ! Chilling with Cocopele in over 100 degrees, wearing one of the cute new headbands my stellar mama-in-law sent me today. Feeling loved! 💖 My husband’s family has taken such good care of us this past year on our crazy journey. We just put in an application for a house in Durham, NC and are feeing hopeful. 🙏Clear eyes, full ❤️s, can’t lose!
THIS MUST STOP.
✨🔮 Sedona!
Cover reveal and EXCERPT link in bio 👆I am so thrilled to share this with all of you! . 🌖More about LITTLE UNIVERSES 🌏 . . One wave: that’s all it takes for the rest of Mae and Hannah Winters’ lives to change. 🌊 When a tsunami strikes the island where their parents are vacationing, it soon becomes clear that their mom and dad are never coming home. Forced to move to Boston from sunny California for the rest of their senior year, each girl struggles with secrets their parents’ death has brought to light, and with their uncertainty about the future. Instead of bringing them closer, it feels like the wave has torn the sisters apart. ✨ Hannah is a secret poet who wants to be seen, but only knows how to hide. The pain pills she stole from her dead father hurl her onto the shores of an addiction she can’t shake and a dealer who turns her heart upside down. When it’s clear Hannah’s drowning, Mae, a budding astronaut suddenly launched into an existential crisis—and unexpected love—must choose between herself and the only family she has left. 🌙 Little Universes is a book about the powerful bond between sisters, the kinds of love that never die, and the journey we all must make through the baffling cruelty and unexpected beauty of human life in an incomprehensible universe. ✨ . . . Thank you to the amazing @chungiyoo for such a stellar cover that captures my girls and their story so brilliantly! And big love to @hypable for the lovely reveal / shouting from the rooftops. . . ✨👩‍🚀Excerpt: link in bio! LITTLE UNIVERSES hits shelves in April 2020.
✨ LITTLE UNIVERSES cover reveal tomorrow!!! Here’s an @nasa Hubble beauty to tide you over. 👩‍🚀
