About the Author
Daria Peoples-Riley
I am so excited to partner with booklove to create an immersive experience for readers of America, My Love, America, My Heart.
I believe booklove provides families with the extended support they need to engage in meaningful conversations, build bridges of compassion and empathy, and honor diverse cultures, languages, and traditions in our country.
“Our work [as authors] can be an anchor, a place we return to for comfort and connection. The reward is a story filled with authenticity, personal truth, and the power to connect readers to their own stories and to the stories of others in their communities.”
