Nic Stone – författare

En snöstorm bäddar in Atlanta i en vit, isande filt, och livet sätts på paus. Men tolv tonåringar trotsar vädret för att hjälpa sin kompis med en ursäkt av episka mått. Under tiden växer deras egna historier fram, och det visar sig att kärlek kan värma upp även den kallaste av nätter.  Ingen var beredd på snöstormen, men man kan inte alltid vara beredd på de magiska stunder som livet ger. 

Av samma författare som till hyllade Blackout kommer nu en ny bok om ung, svart kärlek, där sex historier vävs samman till en enhet som värmer både hjärtan och igensnöade gator.

Edited by National Book Award finalist Ibi Zoboi, and featuring some of the most acclaimed bestselling Black authors writing for teens today—Black Enough is an essential collection of captivating stories about what it’s like to be young and Black in America. A selection of the Schomburg Center''s Black Liberation Reading List.
