“I fell in love. With every page, more and more. Zaji Cox ’s beautiful memoir, Plums for Months, is an intimate portrait of a girl so smart and so wise and so open about her fears and insecurities that I wanted to wrap my arms around the very pages I was reading.” — Liz Scott, author of This Never Happened
