Just Claire Blurb
ClaireLee’s
life changes when she must take charge of her siblings after her mother becomes
depressed from a difficult childbirth. Frightened by the way Mama sleeps too
much and her crying spells during waking hours, she just knows she’ll catch her
illness like a cold or flu that hangs on through winter. ClaireLee finds comfort
in the lies she tells herself and others in order to hide the truth about her
erratic mother. Deciding she needs to re-invent herself, she sets out to
impress a group of popular girls.
With
her deception, ClaireLee weaves her way into the Lavender Girls Club, the most
sophisticated girls in school. Though, her best friend Belinda will not be
caught with the likes of such shallow puddles, ClaireLee ignores Belinda’s
warnings the Lavenders cannot be trusted. ClaireLee drifts further from
honesty, her friend, and a broken mother’s love, until one very public night at
the yearly school awards ceremony. The spotlight is on her, and she finds her
courage and faces the truth and then ClaireLee saves her mother’s life.
