The bi-racial writing team of Alli Frank and Asha Youmans will join South End Writes on Tuesday, August 25 with their debut novel, Tiny Imperfections. Set in the minefield of Kindergarten admissions in the San Francisco Bay Area, the writing team, former educators themselves, takes a withering look at it all through the eyes of three generations of Black women, themselves navigating the private-school shoals. Kirkus Review described it as a ‘fun, snappy read.’
Josie Bordelon, director of admissions at San Francisco's most sought after private school, is determined to keep her seventeen-year-old daughter, Etta, from making the same mistakes she did. Another relative has her daughter’s back. And as admissions season heats up, Josie discovers that when it comes to matters of the heart--and the office--the biggest surprises lie closest to home.
The authors worked in education for more than twenty years. Good Housekeeping Magazine listed Tiny Imperfections as one of the 20 Best New Fiction Books of 2020 and Good Morning America declared it one of the Mother's Day in Quarantine Books to Buy.
