Black Tuesday

A gripping and fast-paced story about guilt, anger, forgiveness, and second chances.

Everything is going just the way super achiever Jayne Thompkins planned.

She’s at the top of her class and captain of the girls’ varsity tennis team. Boys? No time for those, except for her best friend, who doesn’t count anyway. Her ultimate goal? Harvard. That’s what she really wants.

Or is it?

Her life changes in one wrong place/wrong time instant when she crashes into another car and puts a little girl into a brain-dead coma. When the little girl succumbs to her injuries, Jayne pulls away from her family and friends, and her grades plummet. She goes to court-mandated community service and counseling, but nothing seems to ease her guilt. Who is she now, she wonders, if all of her achievements are overshadowed by this horrible accident?
