Dear Librarians,

The Girl was always told she was evil, but was she really? My story follows a nameless main character only known as The Girl. She's been told since a very young age that she was a mistake, a demon who shouldn't have been born. Shunned by her parents, she's shuffled between her Filipino/Pacific Islander parents' and grandparents' homes until her eighteenth birthday. The Girl is baffled by her ordinary life in Los Angeles, California. For all intents and purposes, she's just like every other kid. That is, until the Demon comes to claim her.

THE GIRL is an unlikely coming-of-age story filled with the search for identity, understanding parent expectations, and realizing that sometimes evil isn't what you expect it to be. Keep an eye out this October 2024 for my second novel, just in time for spooky season.
