A Lucky Turn - Paperback

by Carrie Wright-Christopher (Author)

Fourteen -year-old Sarah has a problem. Her mother is emotionally unbalanced. This distressing family secret has already been a deterrent for her at her middle school and in her life in general. Alexis, former companion and confidante, has moved away, and Sarah feels friendless and alone with no one she can trust. Into her life comes Casey. He encourages Sarah to share her difficulties and illustrates the importance of being both courageous and forthright. Sarah gains many insights from her new ally, and she eventually realizes that true friends often reveal themselves through their good will, open-mindedness, and strength of character. Her new canine companion is another welcome addition, giving her the affection, attachment, and unconditional love she has always craved. A Lucky Turn combines the realm of psychological fiction with the endurance of the human spirit, telling the tale of separate journeys toward self-awareness and inner well-being.
