Ava is the bestselling YA author of LOVE LETTERS FROM THE DEAD; EXPOSURE is her adult fiction debut. Tracing themes of race, art, ambition, new motherhood, and grief–told through multiple perspectives and spanning decades–EXPOSURE is a powerful story about conflicting truths. Beautifully crafted and told with tender empathy, this novel is not one to miss.In Ava's own words: "I hope this book inspires empathy; I hope it will inspire people to look at the other side of a story, see someone who is different than they are, or someone on the opposing side of an issue. While there are certainly monsters among us, I believe that most people are not black and white–that we are complex, nuanced, flawed, human."EXPOSURE evokes deep conversation and reflection, and I think in this cultural climate, your audience would really enjoy a conversation that explores empathy for two opposing sides of a divide.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Bet you thought the interviews were over AND YOU WERE WRONG! We're back this week with Ava Dellaira, author of Love Letters to the Dead and her newest book In Search of Us. We talked about her book, we talked about the 90s, we talked about how Jessica is going to burn any proof that she was ever photographed in the 90s ever.----more---- In Search of Us The author of the beloved Love Letters to the Dead returns with a parallel story of a mother and daughter each at age seventeen. Marilyn's tale recounts the summer she fell in love and set out on her own path. Angie's story is about her search for her unknown father. This sweeping multi-generational love story introduces readers to mother-and-daughter pair Marilyn and Angie. To seventeen-year-old Angie, who is mixed-race, Marilyn is her hardworking, devoted white single mother. But Marilyn was once young, too. When Marilyn was seventeen, she fell in love with Angie's father, James, who was African-American. But Angie's never met him, and Marilyn has always told her he died before she was born. When Angie discovers evidence of an uncle she's never met she starts to wonder: What if her dad is still alive, too? So she sets off on a journey to find him, hitching a ride to LA from her home in New Mexico with her ex-boyfriend, Sam. Along the way, she uncovers some hard truths about herself, her mother, and what truly happened to her father. BUY LINKSAmazon . Barnes&Noble . BooksAMillion Ava Dellaira I was born in Los Angeles.
