Why Not Me?

By Joan Lawrence Lucas

In a blinding rage, seventeen-year old Consuelo Ramirez commits a violent attack against a newly arrived sixteen-year old boy who ripped the title of valedictorian from her grasp.
"Why Not Me?" she asks repeatedly as she cleverly pushes herself to excel in an unfamiliar border town in Mexico---banished from her home and forced to hide her identity.
An unexpected pregnancy, due to revenge rape, casts her in the role of a single mother instead of a college freshman. You witness her growth into a strong woman through unusual adventure, danger and love while sharing in her ability to succeed at whatever task is placed before her.
Are brains, beauty and determination enough to hold on to success---or will she be discovered by the person she fears the most?
