Up in Waterford Virginia, Alice Mensa is beyond ambitious for being just sixteen years old. Naturally, when the beloved books in her school and libraries are threatened by book bans, she takes it upon herself to get a petition with thirty signatures to halt the ban. However, her petition journey takes her to the towns estranged bed and breakfast owner, Anastasia Vekoslav, with a darker secret than any Waterford residence could ever imagine.

Requirements & Requests

Hey! This is a book I am very passionate about and would love to potentially publish- however I want to leave a little appetizer for the rest of the book just to see if it is truly something people would like. This is my first time writing a book that actually feels publishable (if that's even a word) so I am very new to all this.
