Bring Me Back (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781938516177)

I was born in the Czech Republic where I spent my teenage years scouring ancient crypts and medieval buildings. Stories and book ideas sparked by these magical places flowed into a journal no one has ever seen. I couldn't help myself and included one of those spectacular, secret underground crypts as a setting for some of the chapters of my debut young adult novel, Bring Me Back. 

 In my early twenties, I moved to the United States and later graduated from Bentley University with a B.A. and an M.B.A. I met my husband in New York City. After our first daughter was born, we realized city life was not for us. We packed up and moved to Atlanta where we are currently raising our family: two daughters, one cat, and one dog. I love writing books for teens and young adults because I can let my imagination run free. Young readers are open-minded; they often feel invincible; and they are eager to be challenged. Young readers are my book characters. When I began to write Bring Me Back, I didn't know where the story would go past the first few pages. As I wrote, the characters began to come alive, and the scenes were popping literally in front of me like a big screen movie. I could not stop writing. I realized that this story, perhaps unbelievable and ahead of its time, could happen one day. Who's to say we can never go back in time, travel through another dimension, or clone a human being? And if we do create a clone, could we clone a mind or, even better, someone's soul? If any of these amazing concepts interest you, get ready for one heck of a ride in this thrilling adventure of teens desperately trying to get a grip on a new reality. It's as unbelievable as it is possible, perhaps even in the lifetime of the young adult readers for whom I love writing. Please visit me at www.yvetagermano.com or www.bringmebacktrilogy.com.
