Blurb - draft #2






 “It’s Mary, isn’t it?”


“What do you mean?”
“Where is she?”
“I don’t know.”
“You know something.”
“I don’t know anything.”
Spring, 1979: scandalous stories spread through a high school in rural Maine after a traumatic experience threatens to tear four childhood friends apart.  As Berrie struggles with a dangerous relationship, and Zana rocks her family by outing their secret, Mary's acting skills far outmatch her best friend, Lili's, and Mary isn't even in the school play.  In the end, it's up to Lili, who can't even keep her own secrets, to keep the biggest secret of all.  
This is the spring when tension rises, passion ignites, and strength prevails as four teens, on the verge of adulthood, discover how the power of friendship can hold them together while their fragile world is torn apart. 

So this is what I've been working on today.  It's HARD to get the blurb right, and it's likely not there yet, but I'm getting closer and it feels good.  I could not have gotten even close to this close without the help of my amazing and talented niece, Kat Brzozowski.  Thanks, Kat!!  I also looked at a bunch of online writing support on how to write a blurb, and again I am so grateful for the help.  What an awesome time we live in!  So much support all around us.  People really do want to help each other.  
That's it for now.  I'll likely update this blurb draft very soon . . . or who know?  Maybe this is the one!  Stay tuned . . .

  1. I feel like I should help you with your blurb... I must be experiencing "mentor withdrawal."
