Publisher Description
Maisy's mum is an ex-junkie. Her father is unknown. Now the girl with the colourful childhood goes to church every Sunday with her mother and attends youth group with the other kids in her country hometown. But fitting into the cookie-cutter ideal of Christian youth isn't easy for someone with Maisy's background.
A new arrival in town gets Maisy thinking about her beliefs, and she doesn't like where her thoughts are heading. Soon she's questioning every tenet she used to hold dear - and being outed as the worst kind of sinner.
Maisy May is a novella for teens and adults. It is the first in a series of three about Maisy.
Warning: Contains occasional swearing, and sexual and religious themes.
Customer Reviews
Loved this book!
I believe that Maisy May should be required reading for teens who are 15 and older. Actions have consequences...and if teens can learn from the experiences of others (even if those 'others' are fictional <grin>), then all the better!
Maisy May is a teen with a great attitude. Yes, she lies to her mother (what teen doesn't?), but Maisy's lack of interest in what her peers think and say about her is refreshing. I wish I had practiced even a small fraction of Maisy's objectivity when I was her age...(long, long ago).
This is a book I highly recommend to teenagers and/or parents and anyone else who is looking for a well-written story with a cast of unique characters. In fact, I enjoyed this book so much, I just bought Ms. Kramer's DEAD(ish) and am looking forward to what I know will be another original tale.
