Synopsis
What
is Kaycee willing to risk for the sake of love?
And
what will she risk for acceptance?
In
Sunshine, Tennessee, the main event in town is Friday night football, the
biggest party of the year is held in a field filled with pickup trucks, and
church attendance is mandatory. For Kaycee Jean McCoy, life in Sunshine means
dating guys she has no interest in, saying only “yes, ma’am” when the local
bigots gossip at her mom’s cosmetics salon, and avoiding certain girls at all
costs. Girls like Bren Dawson.
Unlike
Kaycee, Bren doesn’t really conceal who she is. But as the cool, worldly new
girl, nobody at school seems to give her any trouble. Maybe there’s no harm if
Kaycee gets closer to her too, as long as she can keep that part of her life a
secret, especially from her family and her best friend. But the more serious
things get with Bren, the harder it is to hide from everyone else. Kaycee knows
Sunshine has a darker side for people like her, and she’s risking everything
for the chance to truly be herself.
Why I Can’t Wait
I
love coming of age books and those that show us that finding who we are is the
best thing in life. To fully come into yourself and excepting all of that is
the one thing we all should be grateful for.
Sounds like a book that will work well for you!
