I am currently working on a Young Adult novel in verse about a family in Long Beach Island, New Jersey who lives through Hurricane Sandy. There is a focus on environmental justice and our rapidly changing climate. It is a story of family, community, the changing ocean tides and what it means to fall in love with someone who sees the world in a different way – and how to come together. It is also a love story – for the people and places we come from – and is a journey to preserve what we love most about home.
