Her critically acclaimed debut book, BURNT: A MEMOIR OF FIGHTING FIRE (Abrams Press, 2023), was long-listed for the 2023 Outstanding Works of Literature Awards and received praise from the San Francisco Chronicle, Kirkus Reviews, Christian Science Monitor, Library Journal, Shelf Awareness, Booklist, New York Post, and more.
