Meet Me Halfway, my collection of short stories about race relations in Milwaukee, was published by University of Wisconsin Press in April 2015. Visit the Meet Me Halfway page on the UWP site to learn more about the book and check out my News and Events page to find out about related events.
From Booklist:
“The nine loosely connected stories in Morales’ compelling debut collection explore the diverse voices, racial divisions, and intersecting lives within Milwaukee. … Morales’ stories do not shy from her characters’ varied realities and modern-day prejudices. A candid and powerful book of Midwestern stories.” — Leah Strauss, Booklist
Meet Me Halfway was chosen as the Common Reading Experience for University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s Class of 2019, with all 4,000 new UWM students reading the book and gathering for guided discussions about it and the issues it raises.
