In addition to getting ready
Those “sweet baby queers” — particularly those of Latinx descent — are the readers Rivera says she has created stories for from the beginning. “It’s young people that need a lot of love and care and connection,” said Rivera. “So in my writing I try to put a lot of tender love and care in there.”“Juliet Takes A Breath” is a coming of age story in which the young woman of the book’s title has a terrible experience coming out to her religious Puerto Rican family.
While Juliet’s coming out to her mother was very painful, Rivera says she also hopes the parental relationship in the book will be seen as a hopeful one.
