Her debut book, The Elissas, was published in June 2023 and was heralded by the New York Times as a, “Smart and gripping debut [in which] Leach refreshes a familiar heartbreak by weaving the stories of these three lost young women into a larger, more complicated and ultimately tragic narrative of a nation not so much losing the war on drugs as on a death march every bit as doomed as the last battles in Sparta.”
