Leah T. Williams grew up in St. Kitts, and she never left. The rhythms of the Caribbean, the stories passed down through generations, and the feel of island life all live in every page she writes. Now based in Central Florida, Leah has spent over 20 years teaching English at the middle school and college level, which means she knows exactly what young readers need: stories that see them, thrill them, and stay with them long after the last page. Her books, including Neither Out Far Nor In Deep, Where the Guava Tree Stands, Where Is Noemi, Sweet Like Sugar Cane, and Black Girls Day Off, put Black and Caribbean teenagers at the center of their own adventures, their own histories, and their own coming-of-age moments. No sidekicks. No token characters. Just young people who look like her students, carry cultures worth celebrating, and face the kind of real, messy, beautiful growing up that every teen recognizes. If you have been looking for YA stories rooted in Black and Caribbean identity, the kind your kids will actually finish and ask for more of, you have found your author. 📚 Follow Leah's journey on all platforms: @kittiwriter1 Click follow so you are always the first to know when your next favorite book is coming out.
