Virginia DeBerry and Donna Grant are the bestelling authors of Far from the Tree and Tryin’ to Sleep in the Bed You Made, which won an Honor Award for Fiction from the Black Caucus of the American Library Association, the Book of the Year Award from Blackboard, and the New Author of the year Award from the Go on Girl! Book Club. The authors met while working as models, and what should have been a rivalry ended up a decades-long friendship.
