Somewhere in blue

By Gillian Cummings

Sandy Rawlins is sixteen years old. Her father dies of cancer. She immediately begins to unravel, and yet her mother, mysteriously, is not grieving. Sandy doesn't want to be a burden on her friend; she has her own problems, buried under her bar-hopping cougar of a mom. The boy next door who has always been always a friend, but now perhaps wants to be something more; wants to be there for her, but is it already too late? Sandy Rawlins is sixteen years old and has lost a part of her soul. The aching sadness pulls her a little further away each day.  Readers will be captivated by the dramatic lives of Sandy Rawlins, her friend Lennie Finn and their two very different mothers. Set in contemporary Toronto, this is a story of intense loss and of reaching out for connections. It reveals four women struggling with their independence, their relationships and each other.  TitlePeek
