“Eva tells a beautiful and powerful story about friendship, love, and discovering a home for the soul. Equally, Alfacinha finds its way into the reader’s soul and remains long after the book is finished.”

- Mike Nixon, Author of Life Travel and the People in Between

“Eva Michelle Wheeler combines rich description, a fierce travel lust, and a knack for languages in her breakout work ‘Alfacinha.’ Touching on the nuances of culture across the diaspora, Wheeler responds to the places and people she encounters with the curiosity and reverence of a true globetrotting explorer. Each city described is one the reader will want to put on their travel bucket list, and then read about in ‘Alfacinha’ again and again and again.”

- R. Renee Hess, Author of Blackness is a Gift I Can Give Her: On Race, Community, and Black Women in Hockey
