It is because of this supernatural inheritance, her life in the small town of Riddle Inn is in stark contrast to that of her peers. Only her closest friends, her inner circle, have been allowed to witness her abilities.
She finds a connection to Soul, a Norwood Indian girl, who lives in the backwoods of Bayou Sara, where her paternal grandparents own a farm. Their similarities--and their differences--evoke a power struggle that ultimately defines Blossom's destiny.

Being native to Louisiana, I had the privilege of growing up in a large family filled with engaging storytellers. "Breaking Into Soul" is populated by such characters, and their perspectives, and their voices drive the narrative. This is my first novel. Currently, I am working on my second novel, "Coming Into View," the sequel to "Breaking Into Soul."
