2024 Hispanic Heritage Month Reads: Under this forgetful sky

About the Author:

Lauren Yero is a Cuban-American writer living in the mountains of Western North Carolina. She writes speculative, near-future stories of resistance, adventure, and first love that question the structures our world is built upon. Her debut YA novel, UNDER THIS FORGETFUL SKY (out now with Atheneum/Simon & Schuster), was a Poets & Writers Get the Word Out pick, and both Kirkus Reviews and Book Riot named it one of the Best Books of the Year. Born in Florida, Lauren received her BA from Davidson College and her MA in Environmental Literature from the University of Nevada Reno. In addition to writing, she teaches at a small farm-and-arts school in the beautiful county she calls home. She shares a small homestead with her husband, two kids, two pups, ten chickens, five geese, two ducks, and a couple hundred thousand honeybees.
