A New Dawn by Tiana at Inkitt

Summary

Briar Chiem has only ever had choices in her life. Her parents made sure of that, and she knows for a fact it has everything to do with her terrible, hypocritical grandfather. At least that's what her dad's bestselling book series makes him out to be anyway. And when they visit him for the summer to make amends, she sees for herself what he's really like and the choices set before her. Idris Laxamana has some choices to make, too: get lost in The Quiet Nights series or listen to his family tell him he's a disappointment. The choice is obvious, but when he meets Briar, he's not so sure anymore. And the more they read her father's series, the more they start to realize just how closely their choices and the subsequent outcomes can parallel art.

Author's Note

Thanks for picking up A New Dawn! I really appreciate it and hope you enjoy the story!

All my books hold a special place in my heart, but this one has especially been important to me. If you didn’t know, I’m Vietnamese-American. For most of my life, I’ve had a very complicated relationship with my ethnic identity, so I never really thought of writing about a character with Vietnamese ancestors. But something about A New Dawn just felt like it needed that Vietnamese background. Lo and behold: I have my first Vietnamese-American character!

It was really fun and eye-opening to do all the research on Vietnamese (and Filipino) culture, too. I hope you learn something because I know I did.

As always, I hope you get something out of this book whether it’s just a good story or a life lesson. :)
