Sandpiper -- Vote for me!
As Sandpiper becomes fascinated by and befriends a mysterious loner, her existing relationships with her peers undergo irreversible transformations. Dramatic changes at home and uncertainty in her life force Sandpiper to reevaluate who she is.
This book made me squirm but Sandpiper’s valiant struggle to face up to her actions and steer her life in a new direction is authentic and uplifting.
