“It’s embarrassing, but I can’t help but act like the sun has come out after a long, gray, snow-filled winter. “Absolutely!” I reply with too much enthusiasm.” Lowly p.134 #lowlylola http://ow.ly/nibo307XnQk

Lowly is now #1 on Amazon’s ‘Most Wished For’ list for Teen Christian Fiction, Emotions and Feelings. Lola says to put on your Walkman headphones, turn on “Rocket Man,” and find a quiet corner to get comfy and read a great book–like Lowly.

“The sun has heated the glass in the familiar way of late-summer Texas days. It’s a hot, prickly kiss against my sweaty forehead. It fits my mood, so I stay there, fists balled at my sides, leaning against its smudgy surface.” Lowly p.101 #lowlylola http://ow.ly/6Nq0307XnQj

‘”You know what? I’m glad you can take up for yourself. I think you’ve got a lot of spirit, Lola. That was a little scary, but . . .”‘ Lowly p. 52 #lowlylola http://ow.ly/36Dg307XnQg

“But my curiosity has gotten the better of me, and I begin to drift down the block toward the sounds after crouching to pick up a piece of pink chalk, which I clutch tightly in my hand in case of emergency.” Lowly p. 21 #lowlylola http://ow.ly/bQLr307XnQc

I’ve been practicing an excerpt from the book for video–of course, Lexie has to get in on the action. She was born for the camera after all. #lowlylola

Lowly is #2 on Amazon’s Hot New Release List for Social Issues in its category! (Updated hourly, but I’ll enjoy it for now).

Lowly

I received some early copies from the publisher! This is especially meaningful because I now get to give them to my family as Christmas gifts.

Merry Christmas to you and your family!

‘Somehow Grace must sense my mood, because she looks over at me and says, “It’s so good you’re here, my sweet Lola.”

It almost feels like home.’ #lowlylola
