A secret revealed.
A girl's life changed forever.
Myra Gibson's life is a lie. For sixteen years her parents have kept their secret, but the adoption paper she discovers while cleaning the guest house tells the truth. As the past and present collide, Myra finally stands up for herself and begins a journey she may regret.
Reviews . . .
"All I can say is wow! Beverly Stowe McClure knocked this one out of the
ballpark. The story of Myra and her search for the truth touched upon
one of the fundamental needs of all children (and teens): the need for a
father in their lives. ... The school librarian at the middle school
where I teach is already looking into buying a copy for the school
library. It's that good." ~Award Winning Author Darby Karchut- http://darbykarchut.blogspot.com
"Beverly did an awesome job with this book. Myra's character and the
decisions she make throughout the book are believable. Her friends,
family and love interest, Jeremy, are all characters that the readers
can relate to."

About the Author
When Beverly Stowe McClure was a child she hated to read. Even though
her eighth grade teacher sent her poem “Stars” to the National High
School Poetry Association, and it was published in Young America Sings,
an anthology of Texas high school poetry, she hated to write. In spite
of her rocky relationship with books, she attended Midwestern State
University, where she read too many books to count, and graduated cum
laude with a Bachelor of Science in Education degree. She taught in
elementary school for twenty-two years. Reading Dr. Seuss to her sons
and Newbery winners to her students made Beverly realize what she’d been
missing: Reading was fun.
Now, she reads most every day. She also writes. Her articles for
children’s magazines, many of them about activities her classes did in
school, have been published in leading children‘s magazines. One article
was reprinted in a Scott Foresman Anthology, Grades PK/K. Her doggie
story appeared in a Chicken Soup for the Soul book.
Beverly’s five novels for teens and tweens are published by small Indie
Publishers. Her YA historical novel, Caves, Cannons, and Crinolines, is a
finalist in the 2011 Next Generation Indie Book Awards, Novella
Division. The book also is a finalist in Dan Poynter’s Global eBook
Awards, Teen Fiction. Listen to the Ghost was a finalist in the 2003
Dream Realm Awards. Her first picture book came out in June 2011. Her
latest book, Life on Hold, is a YA contemporary novel. She lives in the
country with her husband, two cats, and a variety of wild critters that
come to visit.
