PUBLICATIONS
“Maia Anna Robinson, a biracial
gay high schooler, has never
felt more certain of where she
belongs in the world until the
day she marched with her
girlfriend at the pride parade.
But because of circumstance
beyond her control, the day
that is meant to define her
existence forever is the day that
everything changes in her life.”
