After working closely with teenagers for many years, I saw an urgent need for realistic young adult books. With teenage suicide, drug abuse, and bullying on the rise, I knew something had to be done to help teens realize their worth.

It is my hope that these books will help teenagers overcome the harsh battle between gaining social acceptance and being true to their own convictions.
