Mitra De Souza
When I was in elementary school, I used to hand write short stories and tape them to the back of my chair for my classmates to read. Yes, I’m “grew up without the Internet” years old.
We lived in the in Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean for 16 years (I’m Trini by marriage). In in addition to my day job at the University of the West Indies, I worked with a local NGO to create the Animal Welfare Network’s Primary School Education Program to teach kids empathy and kindness to animals. As part of the program, I created the content for a series of children’s books to reinforce their learning.
I currently live in San Diego County with my husband, two kids and two 70 pound lapdogs. When I’m not writing, I enjoy walking on the beach, laughing uncontrollably with my kids, and Netflix binges.

Read The Fragile Today
Seventeen-year-old Maya is a Fragile—someone deemed too weak to function in society —and has spent the last decade institutionalized at the Academy for the Rehabilitation of Children. Maya wants nothing more than to be cured of her
neurotic hypersensitivity which causes her to experience the pain and emotions of others. Instead, she begins to have vivid nightmares where she connects with a young girl’s trauma, leading her to uncover a plot to destroy the empathy centers in children’s brains.
Desperate to escape the girl’s pain, Maya learns she has the ability to transfer feelings into people with her hands when she accidentally hurts her best friend, Jacob. Lacking faith in her new ability, Maya must choose between fighting a man bent on destroying everyone like her, and finally being free from the burden of empathy.
In doing so, she might discover that she’s not so fragile after all…
