Alone Together
Genre: YA Contemporary Fiction
Release Date: May 1st 2018
Summary:
Sadie Carter’s life is a mess, as wavy and tangled as her unruly
hair. At 15, she is barely surviving the chaos of her large Catholic family.
When one sister becomes pregnant and another is thrown out, her unemployed dad
hides his depression, and her mom hides a secret. Sadie, the peacekeeper and
rule-follower, has had enough. The empty refrigerator, years of hand-me-downs,
and all the secrets have to stop. She longs for something more and plans her
escape.
However, getting arrested was not her plan. Falling in love was not her plan. With the help of three mysterious strangers—a cop, a teacher, and a cute boy—maybe Sadie will find the strength to defy the rules and do the unexpected.
Told in verse, Sarah J. Donovan’s debut Alone Together has secrets, romance, struggle, sin, and redemption, all before Sadie blows out her 16 candles. It’s a courageously honest look at growing up in a big family.
