Young Adult Romance
In this haunting and hopeful debut novel, a teen’s
court-mandated psychiatric residency prompts a change in
perspective from which there is no looking back. Taylor Truwell is a sixteen-year-old girl from Florida with
a troubled past, a neglectful mother, a seemingly callous
father, and an urge to flee. When Taylor is caught with a
stolen car, her violent reaction lands her in court for
resisting arrest. Her father convinces the judge of an
alternative to punishment: treatment in a juvenile
psychiatric correctional facility. And so Taylor arrives at
Sunny Meadows. Sunny Meadows is anything but the easy way out, and Taylor
has to fight hard just to hold on to her sanity as she
battles her parents, an intrusive therapist, and a group of
particularly nasty fellow patients. But even as Taylor
clings to her stubborn former self, she gradually relents to
new friendships—and to unexpected romance. Sunny Meadows
goes against everything Taylor stands for. But could it be
the place that saves her? In this striking debut, Laura Lascarso weaves together a
powerful story of anger and self-destruction, hope and love,
and the complicated way that it all comes together.
