Michelle Ruiz Keil is a Latinx novelist and playwright with an eye for the enchanted and a way with animals. “Michelle Ruiz Keil puts exquisite language and wild imagination to the fierce onslaught of sensation and doubt that is adolescence.” She would do anything to preserve her new life, but with the creatures determined to exact vengeance on those who’ve hurt her, no one is safe-not the family she’s chosen, nor the one she left behind. Xochi accepts a position as Pallas’s live-in governess and quickly finds her place in their household, which is relaxed and happy despite the band’s larger-than-life fame.īut on the night of the Vernal Equinox, as a concert afterparty rages in the house below, Xochi and Pallas accidentally summon a pair of ancient creatures devoted to avenging the wrongs of Xochi’s adolescence. Then one day, she meets Pallas, a precocious twelve-year-old who lives with her rockstar family in one of the city’s storybook Victorians. It tells the story of seventeen-year-old Xochi, alone in San Francisco, and running from her painful past: the mother who abandoned her, the man who betrayed her.
Quickly becoming one of YA’s most-buzzed about debuts, Michelle Ruiz Keil’s All of Us With Wings is a knockout fantasy about love, found family, and healing, an ode to post-punk San Francisco through the eyes of a Mexican-American girl. Amazon | Barnes and Noble | IndieBound | Soho Press
