Gia Gordon is a Texas-based author, youth activist, and former educator. She's cofounder of the nonprofit Never Counted Out, which provides books to classrooms and community programs. When she's not writing, Gia can be found at home with her partner and two kitties, out thrifting, or turning no-longer-wanted household goods into beautifully painted designs at Salvage Art. The Redemption of Daya Keane is her debut novel, and you can find her at giagordonwrites.com.
