Brette has what is referred to in the scientific community as “Bookstore Blood.” While other babies her age drooled on her father’s board book inventory down the street, she helped her mother behind the cash-register of a gift shop in South Miami. In college, she exploited the employee discount at an independent textbook store that stocked many titles she required to graduate. The withered budget of Miami’s public school system offered few tropical prospects, so she packed for a proper winter, and moved to Brooklyn. No sooner had the Greenlight floor been installed than Brette found a way to manage it, and continues to do so three years later.
