She published a book about meth drug addiction (an issue dear to President Trump):


Beneath a Meth Moon

Has anyone read it?

Awesome indeed. I was a little baffled by the use of the word "teen" in this headline, especially when the article says she has written 30 books, and one is about growing up in the 60s and 70s :D. She writes books for teenagers but is not a teen herself. Great prize money though!

Congrats to Jacqueline!

Haven't read it, but good on her!
