Freya the Deer

By  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 becomes increasingly radicalized after the hideous murder of George Floyd, she must choose between her intense loyalty to him and her moral doubts about violent protest.

From screenwriter Meg Richman comes a quirky, lyrical debut coming-of-age tale about a complex character curious about the numinous yet tied to a physical world that’s steeped in political upheaval.
