Broken Ties

By Michelle Ongaro

Growing up isn't much fun...
Laurie is dreading the start of high school. She wants things to remain the same, her friendships to stay constant, and her life to be familiar. But the encounter with a tall, blue-eyed boy changes all that for her when she attends her very first house party. Love is definitely on the horizon for Laurie, but as her life progresses, she barely recognizes the girl that stares back at her in the mirror.
Is this what growing up is supposed to feel like? Such confusion and heartbreak? Sometimes the young girl turning into a young woman craves the idealistic world she used to live in. As time flies by, Laurie realizes that the old world she once inhabited no longer exists, and she is forced to embrace all that comes with her new life, whether it is the excitement of a new boyfriend or the sadness of losing a loved one. Laurie has never felt such a dichotomy in her life before, and she is definitely not mature enough to handle what comes next.
