The Audacity
My co-director for the book club is Kaitlyn Adams, an avid reader and all around wonderful person. Stay tuned. I have lived most of my life in the Midwest and many of those years were spent in very rural places. I am the daughter of Haitian immigrants. I co-wrote the graphic novel The Sacrifice of Darkness.

I love literary fiction but your story has to have an interesting plot. Things have to happen. I love stories about difficult women. I welcome your so-called unlikable protagonists. I enjoy dark, gritty stories but I am also open to happy, joyful but unsentimental stories that reflect faith in the overall goodness of humanity.
