Publisher Description
Sophie Banks has worked hard for what she has: top of her senior class in high school, gainfully employed, and hopelessly in love with the handsome Eric Lawrence. With graduation a mere three months away, Sophie’s life is on track until a family brawl turns her world upside-down. Between being exposed as having a less-than-ideal home life and faced with a principal who is fed up with her antics, Sophie is forced to live with a guardian, the strictest teacher from her parochial school, Ms. Brooke Jennings. Balancing her new life while hiding her old, Sophie is overwhelmed. On one lonesome drive home she’s involved in a life-changing car accident. Brooke’s loyalty through it all has Sophie seeing her guardian in a whole new light—as the mother she desperately needs. If only Sophie can get the rest of her family to feel the same. When Brooke moves in, love and loyalty will be tested, but will Sophie get the happy ending she’s fought for?

Thorougly Entrancing!!
I really enjoyed reading this novel. It was captivating from the first chapter. I'm an English teacher and this book was recommended by a former student. I would have liked to see a bit more descriptions of the setting and the characters in terms of physicality. I say that partially because, when I read a novel I am always thinking about class discussions with my students about literary elements. The story kept you on the edge of your seat! It was exciting trying to figure out what Sophie would get up to next. I also liked the fact that both she and Eric were not stereotypical teens, who are generally depicted as irresponsible and selfish. Well done! I can only hope to do as well. Congratulations Jenie Sargam. I miss living in St. Thomas.
