A Missing Peace

Release Date: 09/01/13
Summary from Goodreads:
A turbulent, emotionally charged YA novel that breaks down
barriers and challenges the status quo...
Angry, seventeen-year-old Iraqi war refugee Mirriam Yohanna hates her new life
in Killeen, Texas, where the main attraction is a military base, populated with
spoiled army brats like Caleb Miller.
Caleb has much to be angry about too, including Mirriam who turns him down flat
in front of everyone. Eager for retribution, Caleb agrees to a dare that will
see him take Mirriam to the prom and regain his pride.
But their relationship soon moves beyond high school antics. Mirriam and Caleb
are bound together by more than location, and as they are forced to work
closely together on a school assignment, they start to uncover an explosive
story that has the potential to ruin lives — and both of their futures. One
single truth changes everything and strengthens their bond.
When Mirriam's family discovers their relationship, they decide it's time to
arrange her marriage to a proper Iraqi man. Caleb must convince Mirriam that he
is in it for forever — or risk losing her for good.
About the Author
I'm a full time ELF keeper and part time
writer/blogger/writing instructor. I'm represented by Kathleen Rushall of
Marsal Lyons Literary Agency. I like my tea hot, my romance sweet, and my guys
chivalrous. Real men hold open doors, refer to you as ma'am, make promises they
keep, and aren't afraid to profess their undying love. It's not breakfast if
there aren't carbs(at least, not in the South). Fajitas, carnitas, and churros
are just few of my favorite things. Bet you can't guess where I'm from ;)
