When Autumn’s best friend moves to California, she finds herself adrift in a sea of middle schoolers without a paddle. She struggles to make new friends and eventually finds two candidates: the outspoken Logan and the quietly inscrutable Cooper. Pushed by her father to take part in school activities, Autumn leaps at the chance to take over the school paper’s anonymous advice column. The anonymity appeals to Autumn, who experiences social anxiety, but soon she finds herself thrust into a divisive issue that puts her new friendships to the test. Dear Student is a powerful and relatable story about overcoming fear and standing up for what you believe in.

She studied psychology at Boston University and received a law degree from Georgetown University School of Law. Her previous work includes Finding Perfect, Smart Cookie, and Give and Take.
