  <about><![CDATA[My debut novel, THE SUMMER WE FELL APART, will be published by Harper Perennial in January of 2010.  It's the story of  four siblings as they careen into adulthood from a painful past.  When their father dies, despite years of anger and hurt, they must depend on their intense and fragile bond to remember what it means to be a family.  From Amy's adolescent yearnings for a normal life, to George's search for love and Kate's struggle to not always be perfect, to the gritty details of Finn's addictive behavior, the Haas children come to learn that this family - no matter how ragged and flawed -provides all the hope they need.]]></about>    <gender>female</gender>  <hometown>New Rochelle, New York</hometown>  <born_at>06/04/1961</born_at>
