So what if she lets her new publisher rebrand her as Juniper Song&#8211;complete with an ambiguously ethnic author photo? Doesn&#8217;t this piece of history deserve to be told, whoever the teller? That&#8217;s what June claims, and the New York Times bestseller list seems to agree.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Kylie says:<\/strong> This was a very compelling and thought provoking story. You read from June&#8217;s perspective and see her rationale for everything she does, you feel conflicted as a reader. I also really liked the inside look at the publishing world and how it discussed topics like racism, diversity, cultural appropriation, and ethics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>This title is available at Foster Public Library.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/59357120-Kylie-Hart-677x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11836\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author June witnesses the freak accident death of her friend and best-selling author, Athena, and steals her unpublished work and passes it off as her own under the name Juniper Song.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11836,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_piecal_is_recurring":false,"_piecal_recurring_interval":1,"_piecal_recurring_frequency":"","_piecal_recurring_exact_position":false,"_piecal_recurring_end":"","_piecal_color":"","_piecal_text_color":"","_piecal_global_color_master":false,"_piecal_rsets":"[]","_piecal_is_event":false,"_piecal_start_date":"","_piecal_end_date":"","_piecal_is_allday":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[14,23,29],"class_list":["post-11811","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-staff-recs","tag-adult","tag-fiction","tag-kylie-recs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11811","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11811"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11811\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11811"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11811"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11811"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
