When we first meet college freshman Sharon Kisses, she’s a shy, uneasy scholarship kid from Kentucky. But then she meets Mel Vaught in sketch class—and her world is blown wide open. Confident and unapologetic, Mel recognizes and encourages Sharon’s artistic talent in a way no one has before. Like Sharon, Mel has come from humble…
The fierce, creative women at the heart of Kayla Rae Whitaker’s debut, The Animators, are impossible to forget.

We asked Whitaker a few questions about this page-turner of a first novel.
