Cover Reveal: Death, Dickinson and the Demented Life of Frenchie Garcia by Jenny Torres Sanchez

January 7, 2013 by Karen Jensen, MLS   2 comments

Last year I had the pleasure of meeting debut ya author Jenny Torres Sanchez at ALA Midwinter and introducing you all to The Downside of Being Charlie.  Today I am honored to share the cover of her second novel, Death, Dickinson and the Demented Life of Frenchie Garcia.

Synopsis:
Frenchie Garcia can’t come to grips with Andy Cooper’s death. Her friends didn’t know she loved him or that she was with him the night he committed suicide. And Frenchie’s biggest concern right now is how she may have blindly helped him die that night. Though already obsessed with death and Emily Dickinson, neither help Frenchie understand the role she played during Andy’s “one night of adventure.” But then she meets Colin, and  stumbles upon the perfect opportunity to recreate her last night with Andy.  And it just may help her figure out who Andy really was. While exploring the emotional depth of loss, Sanchez’s sharp humor and clever observations present a richly developed voice. Published in 2013 by Running Press.
