Facing the Sun by Janice Lynn Mather
Eve is the rock in her family of seven, the one they always depend on. But when her dad is diagnosed with cancer, she wants nothing more than to trade her worries for some red lipstick and a carefree night. Faith is the dancer all the boys want, but she only has eyes for the one she can't have. The only thing is, all the flirting in the world can't distract her from her broken home life...or the secrets that she hides. KeeKee is a poet who won't follow the rules, not even to please her estranged father. But after a horrible betrayal, she'll have to choose between being right and losing everyone she loves. Nia is a prisoner longing to escape her overprotective mother. A summer art program might be her ticket to freedom, yet it comes with a terrible price--and the risk may not be worth the reward. Ready or not, it's time for these four friends to face the sun.Janice Lynn Mather is a Bahamian writer who holds a master's degree in creative writing from the University of British Columbia.
