Becoming Sarah

Imagine waking up in a body that's not your own. Now imagine you've inherited the body of a model-perfect young woman with a trust fund and a hot boyfriend. For 16-year-old Jamie Lumley -- broke, overweight, plain, and with an alcoholic mother who can barely keep a roof over their heads -- this should be a dream come true.

Jamie's glad just to be alive. The last thing she remembers is the horror of her own rape and murder. When she opens her eyes again, she is Sarah Winslow, a spoiled rich girl who may or may not have committed suicide. Jamie is determined to reassure her grieving mother and best friend, then avenge the death of her "other" body.

Meanwhile, she must live as Sarah. Jamie can't believe anyone as beautiful and wealthy as Sarah Winslow could be unhappy enough to purposely overdose on pills. But the more she delves into Sarah's life, the more she comes to understand that Sarah had troubles of her own.

Can Jamie get her old life back? Does she even want it? Or will she slip into Sarah's old ways, partying with Sarah's shallow friends and sleeping with Sarah's gorgeous -- but dishonest -- boyfriend Nick?

In this intriguing novel, a teenage girl finds that even beauty and riches bring their own problems -- and that starting a new life after death may not be as simple as it seems.
