The Long December

By L. Sutton Schleicher

Fast-paced and emotionally-charged, The Long December hits nostalgic with adults and is relevant and relatable for teens.

Set in the suburbs of Madison, WI The Long December is a contemporary young adult novel about friendship, betrayal, and the dangerous pull of first love gone wrong. Set against the backdrop of AP classes, college prep, and small-town scrutiny, the novel explores how secrets spread, how easily trust can shatter, and how one girl learns that not every story has a happy ending... but resilience will give her the chance to write her own.
