IndieReader Interviews Dorian Box about The Hiding Girl
Following his award for the second best book overall in the 2021 Discovery Awards, IndieReader interviewed Dorian Box about The Hiding Girl, book 1 in the Emily Calby Series. See what Dorian had to say here.
The Hiding Girl (Emily Calby Book 1)
Twelve-year-old Emily Calby was a good girl from a religious family in rural Georgia. She loved softball, her little sister and looking up words to get her allowance. Then two men came and murdered her family. Somehow Emily escaped. Only the killers know she survived. On the run in a fugue, she makes an unlikely ally in a ruthless former gang member who takes her in. Overwhelmed by guilt, she persuades him to train her to kill before setting out alone on a terrifying search for justice. Nothing will stop her—not cops or creeps, not even her own splintering mind. Through it all, Emily fights to hold onto hope and the girl she once knew, kept buried deep inside. A testament to the boundless limits of love, sacrifice and the will to survive, The Hiding Girl is the first book in the multi-award-winning Emily Calby Series.
