When a young girl finds a loaded gun in her house, the unspeakable happens as she accidentally turns the weapon on her mother. In THE ACCIDENTAL, a highly acclaimed young adult novel, author Alex Richards covers sensitive ground...guns, violence, gun safety and what can happen when everything goes wrong. In a remarkable ability to convey a teenage narrative, Alex relates a fictional story of guilt, trauma and ultimately the truth behind a family secret . In THE SOULFAM PODCAST with Lexi and Diana, Alex reveals why she chose to grapple with this highly sensitive topic in Kirkus Reviews best pick of YA novels and Best Children's Book and how her own upbringing in Santa Fe, New Mexico played into the fictional characters and scenes. THE ACCIDENTAL shines a light on the guilt, bewilderment and sometimes deeply misunderstood teenage depression and anxiety. In THE SOULFAM PODCAST, Alex shares how her fictional characters heal and in part, come full circle to have closure with their deeply held pain and denial. In WHEN WE WERE STRANGERS, Alex shares gripping story of grief and revelation, when a young girl's father suddenly dies. Again Alex's uncanny "teenage voice" emerges in a relatable, genuine tale of healing grief and finding one's truer self. On THE SOULFAM PODCAST, Alex discuss just why she feels the teenage years are overlooked as some of the most important, impactful years where the deepest of feelings some times leave the longest trail of tears and how that can be healed.
