Check out my young adult novel Don’t Stop Believing–available on Amazon and for free through Kindle Unlimited.

It’s the 1990s: Nirvana blares from car radios, Bill Clinton is president, and Mara Gordon, daughter of a devout Evangelical minister, just wants to survive her senior year in the small town of Ojibway, Michigan. When she’s not sitting in a church pew, she’s dreaming of escaping—scribbling in notebooks, making mixtapes of her favorite songs, and hiding Rolling Stone magazines under her bed.

But Mara’s world is turned upside down when she and her best friend Ben stumble upon a secret involving her favorite English teacher. The discovery forces Mara to confront the beliefs she’s been raised with and question her own identity in ways she never expected.

As secrets unravel and her feelings for Ben grow more complicated, Mara must find the courage to question everything she’s been taught to believe—and finally embrace the person she’s becoming. With an amazing soundtrack and a story about love, faith, and self-discovery, Don’t Stop Believing is a coming-of-age novel set against the backdrop of the ‘90s, when everything felt like it was on the brink of change.
