Wish
Grier Cooper
For Indigo Stevens, ballet classes at Miss Roberta’s ballet studio offer the stability and structure that are missing from her crazy home life. At almost 16, she hopes this is the year she will be accepted into the New York School of Ballet. First she must prove she’s ready, and that means ignoring Jesse Sanders – the cute boy with dimples who is definitely at the top of Miss Roberta’s List of Forbidden Things for Dancers.
But Jesse is the least of Indigo’s concerns. When she discovers her mom is an alcoholic, it simultaneously explains everything and heaps more worry on Indigo’s shoulders. As her mom’s behavior becomes increasingly erratic, Indigo fights to maintain balance, protect her younger brothers from abuse, and keep her mother from going over the edge. When the violence at home escalates, Indigo realizes she can no longer dance around the issue. At the risk of losing everything, she must take matters into her own hands before it’s too late.
I am organizing a release week blitz for Wish by Grier Cooper, a YA Contemporary novel. The blitz will run from December 2nd to December 6th, 2014, you can post on any day during this window. There will be excerpts and guest posts available for your post, and every participant will be able to host a giveaway for an ebook copy, and/or share the blitz-wide Rafflecopter (incl. a collection of dance films + a gift card) if you wish – giveaway prizes courtesy of author.
An email with the complete post info including promo items and giveaway details will be sent to all participants on November 28th.
