This Book Might Be About Zinnia

352 pp. | Simon | July, 2025 | Trade ISBN 9781665904018 $19.99
(3) YA Told in dual timelines, this introspective novel follows Zinnia, a biracial adoptee in 2024 whose search for her birth mother is sparked by a mysterious novel, and Tuesday, a Black teen in 2006 investigating long-buried family secrets after being forced to give up her baby. Their stories intertwine in a compelling exploration of identity, generational trauma, and mother-daughter relationships. Written with clarity, emotional nuance, and quiet strength, this is a compassionate story of truth-seeking, self-discovery, and resilience.
