Here it is! Finally!

Long time, no blog… Sorry!!! I feel like I could say this every blog but life has just been so busy!  My brother got married to wonderful Stephanie, our best friends got married, trip to Colorado, my brother’s graduation from medical school, a new puppy, and of course, work and grad school throughout it all.  I know the wait has been long, but I’m finally posting the name of my book and the pitch!!! I hope you guys enjoy!

My Perfect Little Secret
Lillian Grace Parker – a 16 year old perfectionist with pencil straight brown hair and a sea of freckles– becomes determined to lose the few extra pounds she gained over summer break.  As the number on the scale goes down, Lilly’s life only gets more amazing.  She has Josie, her soul sister and best friend since kindergarten, a family who loves and supports her, a perfect transcript, and scores soccer goals with amazing ease.  She’s head over heels in love with Sean, the tall, cute, funny guy who sweeps her off her feet the first week of her sophomore year.   Even with everything going for her, Lilly becomes her own worst enemy.  Constantly telling herself she isn’t good enough, Lilly’s life spirals out of control.  Pushing food around on her plate and wearing baggy clothes, she lies to everyone she loves to hide her secret.  When Lilly collapses on the soccer field after scoring the winning goal, she is forced to make one of the biggest decisions of her life.  Will she sacrifice everything that really matters to maintain her twisted version of a perfect body or will she have the courage to fight for her life and see herself for more than the reflection in the mirror?
