Advance Praise
"Tender, layered, and powerful, K.A. Holt’s novel-in-verse, Redwood and Ponytail, is her best book yet, both universal and deeply personal. Kate and Tam’s story is one of first love (or at least deep like), of figuring out your sexuality, of defying and moving beyond parental expectations, of finding your way even as you stumble and make mistakes. This one is going to fly off the shelves and into the hearts of everyone who reads it. I know it's going to be in mine forever." - Joy Preble, Brazos Bookstore
“Redwood & Ponytail is the book we all need in our lives. Yes, it is the perfect example of the genius that is K.A. Holt and her storytelling. More importantly however Redwood & Ponytail is a story that reminds us to just be, to just love. It reminds us to see ALL of the beautiful pieces that make up the gorgeous mosaic of you, of me, of each other. What an important reminder to be given, no matter your age.” -Kathleen March, Anderson's Bookshop
