Shift by Jennifer Bradbury
Some friends fade away...Others disappear.
Imagine you and your best friend head out West on a cross-country bike trek.

Imagine you think your former best friend does too.
Imagine he doesn't.
Imagine your world shifting...

Night Road by A. M. Jenkins
For a heme like Cole, life is a tightrope existence in which sunlight is his deadly enemy and one mistake could trap him underground, staring at the inside of a coffin lid, for eternity. After a century of wandering he may still look like a teenager, but he's known in the heme community for being observant, meticulous, and controlled—a master of life on the road. When Cole is asked to take a newly created heme out for training, however, his usual caution may not be enough. If Gordon, the rookie who really is in his teens, can't cut ties with his old life and accept his new limitations, Cole will have to discreetly dispose of the kid—the same way a mad dog would be put down for the safety of society. Cole thinks he can handle it. But no matter how carefully he plans, or how much he thinks he's in control, accidents still happen. . . .

Every year, hundreds of the most beautiful people in the world come to New York to become models. At age fourteen, Cheryl Diamond was one of them. Living on her own in a run-down apartment, Cheryl spent her days on go-sees, runways, and photo shoots. She watched other girls make mistakes, and swore she wouldn't be a victim...until a career-altering event changed her life and nearly ruined her shot at her dream. This is the riveting, true account of Cheryl's triumphant rise, disastrous fall, and phoenixlike comeback in one of the hottest and most demanding industries in the world.

The Debutante by Kathryn Williams
With SATs and college applications, senior year can be stressful. Throw in a huge move, a best friend's betrayal, and poofy, white dresses, and you have the makings of a Lifetime original movie. Unfortunately, for seventeen-year old Annie McRae, this is no television special... it's her life.Weeks before the start of what's supposed to be the best year of her high school career, Annie’s parents decide to move... to Beaufort, Alabama – land of double names, "debs," and worst of all, her grandmother. It's enough to send this true-blue Connecticut Yankee running for the Mason-Dixon Line. But before she can say "ya'll," Ann Gordon learns she'll be trading in her prippie cords for a debutante dress – or risk losing her ride to college, and out of the South.
Kathryn Williams will also be stopping by The Story on June 19th!
