What do you do when your best friend is being hurt? And you're falling in love with him.
span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;">JoJo and Sam have been best friends since he moved in next door when they were five years old. JoJo has always liked the ways Sam is different from other boys, but now that they’re both 14, he’s changing in ways she’s not so sure she likes. Just when she thinks she’s getting used to his new muscles and the way other girls are looking at him, she sees the bruises on his back and knows his step-father is beating him.

New Edition!
When Jessica Cassady's husband attends a sportswriters' convention and she calls his hotel room in the middle of the night, another woman answers the phone. Lee swears things aren't what they seem, but Jess still kicks him out. While she's deciding whether or not to forgive him, she realizes her hair pulling is more than just a nervous habit and finds out she has a condition called trichotillomania. As if that's not enough to deal with, her domineering mother shows up for a surprise visit!
While Lee works to win Jess back, things grow even more complicated when she runs into Noah Hamilton, a sweet, unassuming history teacher from her past. Jess's interest in Noah makes her think that maybe--as her best friend Deb loves to tell her--she needs to forego the beefcake brigade and give the sensitive type a try, but it also makes Lee realize just how much he's lost in losing his wife. Sparks fly as these two polar opposites on the testosterone scale compete for Jess's affection.
Will Jess be able to find her emotional center, decide which man is right for her and finally achieve the symmetry she craves in every aspect of her life?
NOTE FROM AUTHOR: Like the heroine in this book, I have trichotillomania (TTM), which means compulsive hair pulling. Contrary to what you might have heard about it--if you've heard about it at all--I don't consider it a mental illness. It's a physical condition caused by a sensory imbalance in the nervous system, and approximately 8 million people in the U.S. and 40 million worldwide have it.
Rather than writing a non-fiction book about my own experiences with TTM, I decided to give it to Jess and put her in a book of humorous women's fiction--one I like to call chick lit for women | |  | | True Blue Forever
New edition!
"Someday, she'll be my girl..."
At the fifth grade honors program, three eleven-year-old boys are captivated by a brilliant little red-haired girl named Jeana Russell as she recites the poem she wrote. They know Jeana is special, and each boy secretly vows to win her heart. As these four unconventional teenagers grow up together on the Alabama Gulf Coast in the late 1970s, they become bound to each other in relationships as volatile as they are complex.
Jeana is an unpretentious heroine who refuses to be anyone but herself: a smart girl who thinks she'll never find a boy like the men in the books she loves to read. But when Mickey moves back to Alabama from Washington after the death of his father, Jeana is baffled by her instant attraction to this three-sport athlete with the bluest eyes she's ever seen. When she discovers he is also honest, dedicated, and a whiz at math, she realizes she's guilty of stereotyping--something she despises. As she and Mickey grow closer, Jeana believes she's finally found the hero of her dreams.
Wade Strickland is Jeana's childhood friend and the first boy she ever kissed, but something happens over the summer between fifth and sixth grades, and Wade breaks Jeana's heart with a cruel remark. He becomes an arrogant jerk and is the reigning football phenom until Mickey arrives, setting them on a path to violence from their first encounter. Billy Joe DuBose is Jeana's wise-cracking best friend who bonds with Mickey instantly because of their shared dislike for Wade. Jeana doesn't know how Billy Joe really feels about her, but his love for her is clear to everyone else.
How will the lives of these four teenagers be changed on their journey to adulthood, and which boy will succeed in winning Jeana's heart?
A savory Southern blend of love, friendship, rivalry, and raging hormones, served up on a richly satisfying nostalgic setting, True Blue Forever is comfort food for the soul. This emotional journey back to the days of first loves and first kisses, tough choices and temptations makes the reader believe fairy tale love is truly possible and that the most romantic heroes can be found where you'd least expect them, even in your own hometown.
