Laurie Halse Anderson, author of the YA The Impossible Knife of Memory, which comes out Tuesday and is stacking up the starred book reviews, talks about first love in this exclusive video for HEA. The Impossible Knife of Memory is Laurie's first book to include a big romance. Woo hoo!
First, here's the blurb about The Impossible Knife of Memory (courtesy of publisher Viking Children's):
For the past five years, Hayley and her father, Andy, have been on the road, never staying long in one place as Andy struggles to escape the demons that have tortured him since his return from Iraq. Now they're back in Andy's home town, where Hayley will attend high school for the first time. Perhaps Hayley can finally stop being the parent, experience a normal life, put aside her own painful memories, even have a relationship with Finn, the hot guy who obviously likes her, but is hiding secrets of his own. But will being back home help Andy's PTSD, or will his terrible memories drag him to the edge of hell, and drugs push him over?
Compelling, thought-provoking, and superbly written — everything that readers expect from a Laurie Halse Anderson book.
And here's Laurie talking about first love:
