Anna-Marie is an incredibly talented writer, a kindred soul in the book community, and I was blown away by her debut novel ( The Weight of Feathers, 2015). When I first heard of When the Moon Was Ours, I was thrilled. And they’re willing to use every secret Miel has fought to protect to make sure she gives them up.” Now they want the roses that grow from Miel’s skin, convinced that their scent can make anyone fall in love. Sam is known for the moons he paints and hangs in the trees, and for how little anyone knows about his life before he and his mother moved to town.īut as odd as everyone considers Miel and Sam, even they stay away from the Bonner girls, four beautiful sisters rumored to be witches. Roses grow out of Miel’s wrist, and rumors say that she spilled out of a water tower when she was five. “To everyone who knows them, best friends Miel and Sam are as strange as they are inseparable. And so begins the story of Miel, a queer Latina teen, who fears pumpkins, has roses growing out of her wrists, and appeared one day inside a very old water tower and Sam, a transgender Italian-Pakistani boy coming to terms with his gender. The YA magical realism novel When the Moon Was Ours opens with this dedication by its author, Anna-Marie McLemore.
