Authors on the Verge: Meet Amy Brecount White, young adult novelist
Amy Brecount White
This week, we have Amy Brecount White. Amy teaches high school kids how to read (poetry and novels) and write for seven years. When she got pregnant with her own, she started writing articles for newspapers and magazines about kids and traveling and gardening. She had her mid-life crisis early — Eek! this is her life? — and started writing this novel almost eight years ago. It was a long and laborious gestation period.
