Author Marie E. Andreu discusses her upcoming book, Love in English. Maria is the award-winning author of young adult fiction whose real life has inspired her stories. Love in English is the story of a high school girl’s difficulty navigating life after she relocates from Argentina to the USA. At the start, she doesn’t speak English, just as Maria didn’t speak English. Similarly, in her debut novel, The Secret Side of Empty, the protagonist is a teenage girl who is undocumented, as Maria once was herself.
