ANDI TERAN, a native of El Paso, Texas, currently lives in Los Angeles. Ana of California is her first novel.
“Andi Teran’s first novel is vivid and fully realized, an entire
universe expertly condensed into the pages you hold in your hands.
Ana herself is a complicated delight, and by the end of the book I
wanted to scoop her up into my arms.” —New York Times bestselling
author Emma Straub
“What is so memorable about this novel is the reminder that
happiness is a choice, a courageous and daring opportunity to
express love for the things we value. At the outset we learn that
Ana Cortez is an orphan, but as we live with her during one
particular summer on Garber Farm we witness the creation of family
before our eyes, and admire the passion, humility and valor of one
of the most tender-hearted characters in literature today—a jewel
of a book.” – Mario Alberto Zambrano, author of Loteria
“Anne of Green Gables fans will rejoice; newcomers will find a
satisfying tale; and Ana’s high jinx will leave both types of
readers smiling and asking for more.” – Kirkus Reviews
“Fans of Montgomery’s series will appreciate nods to blackberry
bushes, Ana’s uncontrollable mouth, and the farm setting, but not
recognizing these references will not hinder other readers
enjoyment.” – Publisher’s Weekly
“Debut fiction author Teran’s contemporary reimagining of Anne of
Green Gables brilliantly captures the essence of Lucy Maud
Montgomery’s classic story of a girl who will win your heart with
her well-meaning imperfections. Highly recommended.” – Library
Journal
