The Empress of Idaho cover imageBestselling and award-winning author Todd Babiak returns with an immersive story about fourteen-year-old Adam Lisinki and his all-consuming fascination with Beatrice Cyr, the enigmatic new woman in town. By turns riveting and tender-hearted, The Empress of Idaho is a story about the vulnerability and confusion of adolescence at the moment when it slams against adulthood. It’s an unforgettable portrait of a boy’s difficult coming of age.
