Hi,<br>
<br>
This is my first submission, is this type of request appropriate for this listserv?<br>
<br>
I am hoping to help a client/patient of a friend of mine who works in the mental health industry. We are seeking to fulfill her request to read a novel that features a queer black girl protagonist who experiences happiness and joy as part of the plot. <br>
<br>
I welcome any and all leads—<br>
<br>
Thank you!<br>
<br>
Christine<br>
