The last thing Hannah wants is to fall in love with a girl—especially when that girl is her best friend, Baker.
Her Name in the Sky is a young adult novel about two best friends who can’t help falling in love during their senior year at a Catholic school in southern Louisiana. As they try to figure out their relationship, they grapple with the religious and cultural constraints of their community and, more severely, with internalized homophobia. The story has a happy ending.
I self-published the novel in 2014. Tantor Media published the audiobook version, narrated by the actress Piper Goodeve, in 2017. HNITS has sold over 30,000 copies all around the world.
The most remarkable thing about HNITS’ story is that its success is largely due to word of mouth marketing, especially through the online LGBTQ community. I am eternally grateful to the kind, generous, and brave readers who have embraced Hannah & Baker’s story and pushed the book into other readers’ hands.
