Check out this write up from Gwinnett Daily Post:
While working full time as a CNN special projects producer, Mayra Cuevas persevered in writing a young adult novel with a Latina as the protagonist. She hopes the story will spread a message of empowerment to young girls.
Cuevas was born and raised in Puerto Rico and now lives in Norcross. She said some of her upbringing as a Latina, as well as her experiences with her grandparents and then her parents’ divorce inspired scenes in the novel, which is titled “Salty, Bitter, Sweet.” It will be released March 3.
