Second Edition of TALENT available

[B.]

he second edition of my contemporary YA TALENT launched on November 1. Koehler Books and I would love to have you pick up a copy.

Sandee Mason is convinced her life will change if she can just win applause for her talents-whatever they may be. She can't wait to accomplish something after living in the shadow of her big brother, Bri, who disappeared in Afghanistan months earlier, leaving Sandee craving the same attention the whole town is giving him even as she wrestles with feelings of loss. When her high school drama department puts on the play Oklahoma!, she knows that now is her chance to step out and be noticed. What will she learn about herself as she reaches out to the world?

Lots of issues, turmoil, and talent for Sandee to confront. If you're looking for a book about flighty teens, this isn't it.
