Amy Brashear was born in Arkansas but spent her elementary school years in Garden City, Kansas, just six miles from Holcomb. Amy heard about the Clutter family murders from a childhood friend, though it wasn?t until she read In Cold Blood that she finally understood their significance. No Saints in Kansas is her debut novel. She is also the author of the forthcoming YA book The Incredible Story of the Making of the Eve of Destruction.
Praise for No Saints in Kansas Will appeal to readers struggling with social issues, including bullying, ostracism, and mortality. A good introduction to Capote's famous novel and true crime. --School Library Journal A fresh point of view. --The Tuscaloosa News A gruesome murder, the clues, the investigation, the culprits, the trial--all of these are part of this riveting, fast-paced novel. But intertwined with those are, for newly arrived Carly Fleming, even harder questions. She is indefatigable in her search for the truth, but the truth she searches for is also about her place in this new town, where she is defined as an outsider, and within her own family, which is splitting apart. The unity and urgency of those two searches is searing. --Gary D. Schmidt, author of Newbery and Printz honor book Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy A very cool mix of history and fiction, of brutal true crime, and slightly less horrific high school life. --Steve Sheinkin, Award-winning and bestselling author of Bomb, The Port Chicago 50, and Most Dangerous
