‘Freya the Deer’ Named Finalist in Indie Excellence

The National Indie Excellence Awards honored Freya the Deer: A Novel as one of four finalists in the New Age category of the 20th annual competition. Congratulations to author Meg Richman!

Raised by absent-minded professors in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Freya is a young neurodivergent woman occupied since childhood by a series of obsessions. She is artistic, vegan, unsocial, and utterly honest. She attends college in the Pacific Northwest, planning to create her own major so she can explore exactly what the soul is. There she falls in love with handsome Caleb, who becomes her new obsession. When Caleb is radicalized after the hideous murder of George Floyd, she must choose between her intense loyalty to him and her moral doubts about violent protest.
