  <about><![CDATA[Advanced Praise for SEA...

&quot;Heartbreaking but always hopeful; achingly romantic but never sappy-- SEA is simply luminous. What a remarkable debut!  
                                           -- Jennifer Laughran 
                                     &quot;Not Your Mother's Book Club&quot;
                                          Books Inc. in San Francisco

&quot;SEA is a richly woven story as turbulent and beautiful as the sea itself, plunging us headlong into the depths of loss, devastation, compassion, and hope. A touching and romantic debut about the redemptive power of altruism and the heart's capacity for love.&quot;
      --Sarah Ockler, author of TWENTY BOY SUMMER


After earning her BA in Literature &amp; Creative Writing Literature from UC Santa Cruz and finding her voice in YA, Heidi went on to earn her MFA in Writing for Children from The New School. She has directed and written children's theatre on both coasts.

SEA is her first novel and debuts June 10, 2010
