New Release!
“An emotionally touching, beautifully related novel that will resonate with readers young and old. It was one of those rare books I found myself reading more slowly as I got to the final pages. I didn’t want it to end.”
—Christopher Paul Curtis, Newbery-award winning author of Bud, Not Buddy and The Watsons Go To Birmingham, 1963
"What a miracle. I loved every moment of it. Everything felt so nuanced and authentic… There were many moments where I thought to myself, wow, she nailed that too. It's so finely observed.”
—Jerome Ellis, nationally-recognized artist/musician/stutterer,

I love to explore–in my mind and in the world.
People, places, seen and unseen… anything in the universe is fair game, as far as I’m concerned. Which is why my first main character, Brendan Buckley, has a notebook for his Big Questions about life, the universe, and everything in it. And why I continue to write—because it’s one big exploration of what makes us human, what connects us.
“Frazier writes affectingly about what being biracial means in 21st-century America.”
