Liza Wiemer asked Natasha Diaz:

Hi Natasha, I love your cover. In what ways does it reflect what's in the pages? Is there anything you want people to notice, perhaps something that isn’t so obvious at first glance? If so, what is it and what significance does it have to you and/or your novel?

Natasha Diaz What a thoughtful and wonderful question, thank you! First, I just want to take a moment to say that I too love this cover! The image of the main character, Nevaeh, cut out and filled with words (a poem from the book) is significant to the journey she takes in finding herself and also the way that her writing helps to inform who she is. On the cover she is surrounded by two women (who in my mind represent her two cousins) and I love how they are both so full of life. In the book, Nevaeh is desperate to feel connected to her cousins and find commonalities between them, so the contrast between them and Nevaeh on the cover is very representative of how Nevaeh feels in the beginning of the book: lost and invisible.
