Anybody read this one yet?! It's a must. Stop cooking, stop working, go out and get this book. Awesome doesn't begin to describe the surprises waiting in store.

As a writer and teacher I was most impressed by the authors ability to convey emotion! This wasn't a typical YA, I'm not sure if it was the family dynamic, unique storyline, or what.  They way the author uses metaphors......just wow! And first person present narrative usually bothers me, but not this one!

Lori Katzfey, as usual, you are right about books. I will defer to you on reading selections from now until the end of time!

   It doesn't get any more real than this! Like all my social media indicates I am an English teacher at Reagan High School.  I love my students as much as I do my own four children.  I enjoy YA Lit and Cadbury eggs.  I spend most of my daylight hours in overdrive, like most mothers.  Many ask me how I manage to accomplish so much, and although I have answered in various ways, the one solid truth in my life is Jesus Christ who makes all things possible. 
   Borrego ​is the name of my current project. Check out this novel and more on my website or on Amazon.com.
