About the author

The author of five young-adult novels published in the U.S. and Germany, Linda Piazza currently prepares to submit Sycamore Dawn, a literary novel-in-progress intended for adults. She grew up in the Deep South and has tried all her life to resolve how people who were kind to her can then behave with suspicion and hatred toward others. Sycamore Dawn was prompted by her discovery that her grandfather joined in an act of racial hatred that her then 11-year-old father witnessed.

The book reviews she posts all feature four or five stars because she gives herself permission to stop reading the books she doesn't like.
