Delaney Kraemer was adopted from Guangxi, China and lives in Michigan. She published her first book when she was eleven. Her previous work includes the German Shepherd Who Howled at the Moon series. Delaney's new novel, Mountains of Our Own, features a character inspired by her own experiences with epilepsy and CVI (Cortical Visual Impairment). She hopes this book will teach others about epilepsy and the importance of inclusivity. For more information or to contact the author, visit http: //neurodivergentpublications.com.
"""Mountains of Our Own is extremely helpful in informing the world about what it is like to live with the extraordinary challenges of epilepsy. Through the protagonist, a teenage girl named Faith, we learn cognitively, emotionally, and viscerally-in remarkable detail-what it feels like to live with this difficult disease. While sometimes heartwrenching, the young adult novel is highly engaging and a wonderful story of friendship, acceptance, and love-with a beautiful teen-love story that blooms over time. It is an inspiring book and a stunning effort by an 18-year-old woman who battles epilepsy herself."" -David Aretha, award-winning author"
