Mysterious Love Book

It happened exactly one month ago?

When will Nikki be able to put the past behind her?

The deep, hollow chimes of the grandfather clock startled Nikki. Six o'clock. Now she'd barely be ready when Chad came to pick her up.

Do I even want to go out tonight?

Yes, because the only thing I can do is get out of here and keep busy?so I can forget all about my messed up life?even if only for a little while?

This way Grandpa can't harp on me all evening. Neither can Jeff?he's always been a really great friend, but lately?well, I just can't figure him out. What is it with everyone these days? Why can't they all leave me alone?!

And then there's my mom?now that I know her secret, my entire life seems to be built on a mystery.

Overwhelmed by anger and confusion. Nikki determines to shut out the pain by hardening herself against the people who care most about her. But when her friendship with Chad turns suddenly sour, Nikki faces yet another critical decision. Can she learn to forgive everyone who has let her down?including herself?

Involvement with a charming, but troubled new boy at school distracts Nikki from her sadness over giving up her baby, but it is the loving support of her grandparents and a close friend that help her resolve her feelings of anger and guilt.
