PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
"Hailey Alcaraz enjoys writing stories about multicultural Latinx characters, girls who choose the difficult path when it comes to love, and the clumsy journey of ""finding yourself"" as a young adult. As a second-generation Mexican American woman, a middle school English teacher for mostly Hispanic students in South Phoenix, and a lover of powerful female protagonists, Alcaraz is uniquely qualified to tell this story of a mixed race young woman blazing her own trail. She lives in Scottsdale, Arizona with her husband, daughter, and German shepherd, Lemon."
Up In Flames is a sparkling and poignant debut that left me breathless, full of richly drawn characters that will stay with readers long after the book is closed. -Kara McDowell, author of The Prince & the Apocalypse
