Jo Dereske Book order

This author draws inspiration from a rural Michigan upbringing and a Lithuanian heritage that unexpectedly permeates her work. Her writing often explores complex characters grappling with a desire for black-and-white clarity in a nuanced world, frequently set within the context of libraries, which she values as vital public spaces. Her fascination with forgery, stemming from childhood escapades, also fuels a distinct series, alongside contributions to young adult literature.
