Quick synopsis: Quickwitted and more than a little stubborn Catherine Grace is dying to escape her small-town life. When her dream to go to Atlanta becomes a reality, she immediately makes the move, leaving behind the boy she loves. But all too soon, tragedy brings Catherine Grace back home. As a series of extraordinary events alter her perspective, Catherine Grace begins to wonder if her place in the world may actually be, against all odds, right where she began.

About Cheryl Rainfield
I write the books I needed and couldn't find as a teen. I write teen fiction--paranormal fantasy and gritty realistic fiction. I'm the author of SCARS (WestSide Books, 2010) #1 ALA QuickPicks, and Governor General Literary Award Finalist, HUNTED (WestSide Books, Oct 2011), STAINED (Harcourt, 2013), The Last Dragon (HIP Books, Sept 2009), and Walking Both Sides (HIP Books, 2011). I also enjoy drawing, surfing the web, connecting with people I like, doing crafts, and being with my dog.
This sounds like a charming the grass is always greener on the other side of the hill…worth a look, even if I don’t win!

I have many happy memories of the Dairy Queen. In fact, I hope there is always a Dairy Queen around somewhere! 🙂
Sounds a like a great read! Thanks for hosting the contest.
I live right by a DQ – it’s probably the reason I bought my house. Nothing like a small twist cone in the summer 🙂
Fascinating. I hope you do indeed find salvation there, but ever since they stopped putting eggs in the Orange Julius, I haven’t been a big fan….
Our small town has a Dairy Queen and in the summer it is PACKED! :O
Enter me in this contest, please. 🙂
I am quite possibly the BIGGEST DQ fanatic. I travel around to visit random DQ’s and have worked at two, expanding over a 36 month adventure as a DQ employee & manager.
I’ve been wanting this book since it came out! Thanks:-)
Count me in!
There’s no place like home–please enter me!
In our town we called it “Dirty Queen”. The health inspector agreed, and shut it down. In 1976 it reopened as a flower shop.
Sounds like a great read!
