ISLAND BREEZES

This book picks up where Katy’s New World left off.  She managed to get herself out of that mess and is working hard to show her dad that she will continue to be okay without a mother.  While she battles pride and rebellion, she still is afraid that her father might not let her continue school with the English.

And then there’s Bryce.  And Caleb.  So alike in many ways, but one irritates Katy and the other makes her smile.

Throughout this book, Katy struggles with selfishness.  Why is it so hard to be a new creature?  Why did winning feel like losing?

Katy is debating.  In class, in competition, with her father and with herself.  Will her strategy work?  Who will be the winner in the outcome?

This is second in the Katy Lambright series, but I still found it to be a good stand alone read.

AND NOW…THE FIRST CHAPTER:
