"Someday, Kristy, if you stay as sweet and innocent as you are now, you're going to make some lucky guy a great wife."

That's what the boy Kristy Russell is crazy about tells her. Insulted, sixteen-year-old Kristy embarks on a journey of self-discovery, trying to figure out why he rejected her. In the attempt, she comes to realize that her own self-esteem is more important than what anyone else thinks of her. But will that knowledge enable her to make the right choice when a potentially life-altering decision is required of her? It isn't just her own future she holds in her hands.

Set in Maine in 1992, this novel of romantic suspense is written for young adults age 12 and up.
