Produktbeschreibung

Gabriella never felt like she belonged. At thirteen, she should have liked the same things as her friends: boys, the beach, and everything else that came with being a girl.

But that's the problem she doesn't feel like a girl.

When she's shipped off to her grandma's for the summer, forced to attend therapy, Gabriella fears she'll never discover her true self. Her mom says she's confused. Her grandmother judges her short hair and boyish clothes. Only her great-great Uncle Louis, a retired priest, seems to understand that she feels like an impostor in a foreign body.

Now she's stuck in a peculiar house filled with thousands of books, surrounded by a city of strangers, with just one person to call a friend. Feeling entirely alone, Gabriella must learn to stand up for herself while navigating a new world she's no longer sheltered from.

She's determined to make this summer mean something. It has to, because she can't go back to the way life used to be. She can't go back as Gabriella.

Gabriella no longer exists. In her place is someone stronger, braver ... someone who belongs.

Autorenporträt

Kristina Circelli is the author of several fiction novels, including The Helping Hands series, The Whisper Legacy series, "The Never," and "The SOur Orange Derby." A descendent of the Cherokee nation, Circelli holds both a Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts in English from the University of North Florida.

Her Whisper Legacy series is steeped in the spoken narratives of Native American lore, and is at once a gripping story of a father's love and his search for redemption as well as a written record of a Nation's belief system. Part adventure, part myth, and altogether riveting, this series from Kristina Circelli signifies the emergence of an important voice in Native American literature.

From her extraordinary ability to vividly create heretofore-unknown worlds to her engaging prose, Circelli's novels position her as one of the freshest new voices in all of contemporary American fiction. She currently lives in Florida and works as an author, book editor, copywriter, and creative writing professor.
