About the Author
Sarah Guillory has always had a passion for literature. Coming from a family of teachers, she learned to read before she'd even started school and has escaped into fictional worlds ever since. Sarah loves being outside, whether that's walking her dogs, sitting under a tree with a book, or running countless miles before the sun has even come up. She teaches high school English and lives in Louisiana with her husband. She is the author of Nowhere Better Than Here and Reclaimed.

"A poignant and emotional exploration of a people and place worth preserving." -- School Library Journal, starred review

"Necessity and nostalgia clash in a small Louisiana town, where 13-year-old Jillian Robichaux fears the loss of her enclave and her Cajun identity in this timely story." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review

"A timely, affecting account of climate change...enhanced by [the protagonist's] Southern charm and emotional depth." -- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"Jillian's grief, and her trepidation about facing a now unmoored future, ring true and give the novel its heart, while the issues of preserving one's environment and heritage offer readers much to ponder." - Horn Book
