Description
A bold and authentic reimagining of The Winter's Tale full of tragedy, triumph, and forbidden romance--perfect for fans of Sabaa Tahir, Kathleen Glasgow, and Sarah Dessen. Pia and her brother, Max, live on an isolated farm in rural Maine, and it's the only life they remember. Their father says the only way for them to stay protected is to stay on the farm. Pia doesn't question it. Pia's entire world turns upside down when her father breaks his leg, and she must be the one to venture into town to make farm deliveries. And then she sees him. Felix, a boy who is both a stranger and somehow familiar, makes her question everything she thought she knew about herself, her past, and her family. But no matter how she feels about Felix, she must always obey her father, above all else. But Pia's feelings are too big to ignore, and the more she engages with Felix, the more she begins to see that there's promise for her beyond the isolated world to which she's grown accustomed. And the more she dreams about a better life, the more she wonders if her father is telling the truth about their family's past. Pia knows her father and his friend Anthony are hiding something, and soon Pia must reckon with the damage her father is doing to their community and the damage he has done to their own lives. Winter White is an astonishingly told and searingly authentic reimagining of Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale for fans of Sabaa Tahir, Kathleen Glasgow, and Sarah Dessen.

Cardi, Annie
Annie Cardi holds an MFA in creative writing from Emerson College. Her short stories have appeared in the Georgetown Review, Vestal Review, and other publications. In 2011, PEN New England selected her as a winner of the Susan P. Bloom Children s Book Discovery Award for the manuscript that would become The Chance You Won t Return, her debut novel, about which she says, I was spending the summer in Chicago with my now husband when the sentence My mother thinks she s Amelia Earhart popped into my head. I wondered who this person could be and what her home life would be like. At first I thought the sentence would turn into a short story, which was largely what I was writing at the time, but it quickly became evident that Alex s story needed to be longer. Annie Cardi s writing is fueled by copious amounts of coffee and chocolate. She lives near Boston with her husband and a portrait of a sea captain.
