Reid Andrews has been listening to stories by the role models in his life, well, since forever:
My grandparents tell me there are certain days of your life you will never forget. Good days as well as bad days. For my grandparents, it was the day Pearl Harbor was attacked, President Kennedy was assassinated, and the day they met each other.
For my parents, it was the day the space shuttle exploded, the Twin Towers fell, and the day they met.
For me, it was the day of the Sandy Hook shooting, the day I scored the winning goal to win the CIF Championships, and the day Slurpee’s became my beverage of choice!
When you’re eleven years old and your world is turned upside down, you learn to cope. By the time I was sixteen, coping meant large amounts of alcohol and kissing…lots of kissing! This coping mechanism was not the greatest of ideas. It saddled me with a bad reputation. My name may not be written on the bathroom wall, with the word slut, but that is what most people think of when my name Baila Morgan is mentioned.
There are many things I am sure of in my life and one of them is that you can’t change the past. I was living my life the only way I knew how. One thing I didn’t know was that stopping to buy my favorite drink, a blue raspberry Slurpee would flip my world upside down. Or maybe, just maybe, it made my upside down world turn right side up!
This is a teen novel for ages 14 and older.
