What Deidra Loves to Read

Deidra loves a well-told story with a fresh viewpoint. Whether fiction or nonfiction, she gravitates toward engaging, first-rate narrative and out-of-the box perspectives.

She is particularly interested in stories written by and for women and people of color, and in topics that explore identity, gender, and sexuality at the intersection of culture and faith. These stories should help us laugh, dream, heal, and grow (and go) forward.

Deidra looks for thoughtfulness and creativity with regard to time, place, and small details that matter.
