Brandy Colbert on writing FINDING YVONNE
from LB School & Library Podcast Hosted by LB School & Library
Stonewall Book Award winning author Brandy Colbert returns to our podcast to talk about her brand new novel, FINDING YVONNE. For fans of Nicola Yoon and Nina LaCour, Finding Yvonne is a striking novel about difficult choices. Since she was seven years old, Yvonne has had her trusted violin to keep her company, especially in those lonely days after her mother walked out on their family. But with graduation just around the corner, she is forced to face the hard truth that she just might not be good enough to attend a conservatory after high school. Full of doubt about her future, and increasingly frustrated by her strained relationship with her successful but emotionally closed-off father, Yvonne meets a street musician and fellow violinist who understands her struggle. He’s mysterious, charming, and different from Warren, the familiar and reliable boy who has her heart. But when Yvonne becomes unexpectedly pregnant, she has to make the most difficult decision yet about her future. From the author of Pointe and Little & Lion, comes another heartfelt novel about the twists and turns that can show up on a path meant only for you.
