A Pink Carnation

About the Book

Hope is a teenage girl. She loves her cat, and she loves her mom, and she loves her dad. But Hope starts to notice an unsettling pattern—people she cares about are taken away from her. This is the journey of one girl’s self-discovery and acceptance of who she is. As you bear witness to Hope’s struggles, you might feel as though you can relate; that’s because Hope shows you a part of yourself that you might not show to anyone else. Hope is a reminder to remember your journey because your story is how you came to be so perfectly you.

About the Author

My childhood was not what you'd call normal. I've had my fair share of heartache, but I decided to turn it into something creative because that's how I cope. I have a lot of supports of my writing in my family, for which I am extremely grateful. But unlike my other work, this book is for me and my grandmother, someone who didn't like my work but supported me anyway. I'm so grateful for my friends and my two cats, Cookie and Beamer, as they help me through my day to day life as well. Lastly I'd like to say that we all go through shit in our lives, but we don't have to go through it alone.
