Dear Reader,
15-year-old Kayla has been abandoned by her alcoholic mother before, and it could happen again. Now Kayla has her own business and an older boyfriend. Is she willing to create a life for herself—even if it means leaving her mother behind? This question is at the heart of NOT LIKE YOU, my young adult novel that the Association of Children’s Librarians says “rings very true.”
“…a wonderful book…really exciting,” —18-year-old reader
“I couldn't wait to find out what happened next.” —13-year-old
“Terrific characterization…hurrah for a realistic, multi-dimensional, nuanced parent!--that rarest of breeds in YA.” —Newbery author Linda Sue Park
“…best mother-daughter story I’ve read.” —Author/YA lit blogger Cynthia Leitich Smith
