So far, life for 14 year old Phoebe Trask has been picture perfect. Her parents are successful, her sister Shyla is in law school, and her brother Zane, the all-American best brother ever is a star on the high school swim team. But everything changes for Phoebe when Beth, her mother, takes a new job that keeps her away from home indefinitely and her father, a small-town Texas judge becomes embroiled in a controversial court case that has the whole town choosing sides. What’s more, the new next-door neighbor is a beautiful widow who seems to want to take Beth’s place in the family. Add to the mix Phoebe’s budding romance with Nick Harper, her gorgeous but troubled science lab partner, and Phoebe’s once-perfect life is on very shaky ground. As Phoebe struggles to cope with the changes that just keep coming, ready or not, she learns what it means to love, and to forgive. Now available.

“Love, who has proven she has a knack for capturing the essence of what it’s like to be young and burdened by life once again focuses on a teenage heroine with a self-absorbed mother. Love’s rendition of family trauma is ultimately both uplifting and realistic, making its impact all the more powerful.” Publishers Weekly
