A Tale of Two Diaries

A MAROONED ON PLANET EARTH NOVEL

What if you discovered that your mother’s teen diary was almost a mirror of your own–high school crushes, drama, and all?

Devynn’s world has crashed around her. Dad’s abruptly left the family, and Devynn lays the blame on Mom. Mom, who refuses to give her permission to see Rodney, a senior boy. And that brings up the subject of school . . . School is a nightmare right now! The bullying, the malicious rumors about her and Rodney, not to mention, her mother reigns supreme in the school cafeteria . . .

Despite those rumors and her mother’s objections, Devynn vows nothing will ever part her from Rodney! They’ll be together forever, no matter what! Unlike the relationship between her parents!

But when Devynn finds an old diary lying temptingly upon her mom’s dresser, she invades her privacy. Turns out, Mom was once as confused, rebellious, and as boy-crazy as Devynn is now. And her choices? Oho, no, not stellar!

As Devynn digs deeper into her mother’s secrets, she begins to question everything—Rodney, her parents, even herself. Is she destined to repeat her mother’s mistakes?Should she confront her mother with what she’s learned? Or should she quietly learn from it—before she totally messes up her own life?

A Tale of Two Diaries is a coming-of-age story with attitude, awkward truths, and plenty of heart and humor.
