Identity

Good morning and welcome to Sunday Blog Share. Today, we’re going to be talking about identity. Rather, we’re going to examine how teens identify themselves. It may not seem like a major issue how identity is used in my novella, Who Am I? To be honest, the number of teens taken from their parents for whatever reason seems to pale in comparison as to how teens identify themselves in the current climate. Yet, a teenager who has grown up in an unstable home, where they don’t know from one moment to the next where they’ll live or what they’ll be called has just as many if not more problems identifying themselves as any other teen.

Blurb
Brooke English never belongs. She changes schools twice a year, as often as her looks and name change. Her thoughts about belonging to her “family” get even more viral when they stop in Landry, Georgia. Then things start to go wrong. Then Brooke starts to have dreams.
Will she find the answers she wants? Or will her worst fears become reality?



Excerpt
“A new semester, a new school, and who am I looking at? Sure isn’t me – whoever that is.”
I stare into a mirror at the new house, and I don’t recognize the person staring back at me.
For as long back as I can remember, I’ve had at least two different names every year – Layla, Helena, Penelope (nicknamed Perky, definitely not me!), and many, many more, far too tedious to mention. At times, I get confused, and I’ve always wondered what my real name is. Where I’m from comes in a very close second. Third is my desire to have a real life, friends, and a future. We moved here last night. I’ve lost count of the houses. Never homes.
Like that will ever happen.
Today begins another life, as another person. The only difference is the size of the town where we are. Instead of a major city, where we can blend in, we’re in a rural Northwest Georgia town, so small everyone has to know everyone else.
What are Mama and Daddy thinking? Their swindle will never work here.
