Synopsis

The agony of unrequited love, dates, dresses and exams all make life confusing during the teen years... Are there answers to be found in the social conventions of the previous generation, the developments of modern psychology taught in class, the theology touted at worship or in the depths of soul searching and personal experience? This story belongs to the genre known as "Bildungsroman" or novel of development. It covers one very significant year in the life of a young female by the name of Stephanie Lowood, and is presented a diary, which was discovered in a chest by the heroine's daughter and young grandchildren. The grandchildren are curious to hear how Grandma met Grandpa and what life was like at a Christian college in the 1980s!

À propos de l?auteur

Cecelia grew up in the Barossa Valley, an area of South Australia predominantly settled by German immigrants. As a dark-haired, tanned little English girl, she was mercilessly teased. She remembers the struggle to learn to read and reading was a slow process until one birthday, she sat down with her gift, and the mystery story was so exciting, she finished it in one session. She has wanted to write her own stories ever since! Cecelia writes from the perspective of a Bachelor of Education and Master of Arts, and experience as an Accredited Counselor for four years. On a personal note, she hopes that sharing her insights in fictional form helps empower any modern youth. It is all about becoming yourself - and being independent of others’ opinion.
