This exploration of the natural world and family bonds through the eyes of a young mixed-race narrator is a living, breathing, dazzlingly multi-faceted, exuberant masterpiece, firmly grounded in her sense of self-worth and belonging. If Walt Whitman were reborn as a vibrant young woman of color, this is the book he might write. America, we hear you singing! Samara Cole Doyon sings a carol for the plenitude that surrounds us and the self each of us is meant to inhabit.

Samara Cole Doyon is a freelance writer, teacher, wife, and mother as well as a regular contributor at Black Girl in Maine Media. Both a second-generation Haitian American and a deeply rooted Mainer, her poetry has been featured in the poetry column of the Portland Press Herald.

Chrystal Bethell studied acting at The Actors Studio Drama School at Pace University, where she obtained a Masters of Fine Arts. She has since performed on stages throughout the United States and can be seen on various advertising campaigns and heard narrating audiobooks. An island girl born and raised in the Bahamas, she enjoys being with nature, writing, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.
