Forward

By Miriam Spitzer Franklin

Andy's twin sister Anna is everything he's not: athletic, daring, and most of all, brave.

At least, that was Anna Then. Anna Now struggles with permanent brain damage, after a severe case of meningitis. This change in Anna has had a ripple effect on Andy's life. His parents are stressed and fight all the time. Family outings are met with stares, and inviting people over has become much more complicated.

It's hard enough that the person who knows him better than anyone else has turned into someone else, but now his only friend - Anna's best friend Pansy - is acting different, too.

Andy isn't sure how to handle the feelings surrounding Anna's upcoming surgery when he and Pansy are barely speaking. However, with some guidance, and a new friend or two, maybe Andy can be brave enough to let go of the Then and take on the Now.
