<club-desc-paragraph>Zo has always yearned for a love like the one he finds with Anaya, but when her father sends her to Port-au-Prince to keep her away from poor, uneducated Zo, and then a massive earthquake destroys the capital city, their lives (and their love) are altered forever. In conversation with Karen Zelnick, author Xander Miller dives into what inspired the novel, his own love story, and what writing Zo taught him. Zo isn't just one love story, it is many, and just may make you want to fall in love all over again.<club-desc-paragraph>
