Sometimes the storm is inside of you.

“Sharp observations about cultural difference, class implications, economic privilege, and colorism… Prose about Tilla’s reflections and the glory of the countryside is accessible yet sumptuous…”  Center for Children’s Books

“This is an excellent examination of the ways wealth, gender, and color can shape and at times create mental and emotional fractures. Verdict: A great title for public and high school libraries looking for books that offer a ­nuanced look at patriarchy, wealth, and gender dynamics.” School Library Journal (starred review)

“Bromfield may have made a name for herself for her role on Riverdale, but with this debut, about a volatile father-daughter relationship and discovering the ugly truths hidden beneath even the most beautiful facades, she is establishing herself as a promising writer…this is a must.” Booklist (starred review)
