To show for it, her debut young adult novel “Dangerous Play” will finally be delivered into the hands of readers across the country on Tuesday.
The book, which Kirkus Reviews described as “timely and absorbing,” revolves around strong female friendships and surviving sexual assault. It follows Zoe Alamandar, a teen who wants to win the State Field Hockey Championships and earn a scholarship to get out of her hometown in Central New York.
