Young Adult Fiction

James is heading into the country on his first teacher-training round when a mysterious girl asks him for a ride. Sophie has him all worked out: 'You live with your parents and they bought you this car, and a very nice car it is too...' At first James can't see past her wild hair and attitude, but then Sophie trusts him with a secret she's been keeping too long. Steven Herrick masterfully reveals the essence of his characters in this tough and tender story about opening up to love and living a life that's true.
