Ellen Hopkins

Five moving stories remain separate at first, then interweave to tell a larger, powerful story a story about making choices, taking leaps of faith, falling down, and growing up. A story about kids figuring out what sex and love are all about, at all costs, while asking themselves, "Can I ever feel okay about myself?"
