Query for The Footbridge

Suicide. Sally thinks its the only escape from her abusive alcoholic mom, neighborhood bullies, and even the teachers at school. The only reason she's still alive is Kelly, the beautiful boy next door. But even he isn't her friend anymore.

Karolee, Sally's Mom, has hit rock bottom. Her pursuit of employment ends tomorrow after her interview with the escort service, whether they hire her or not.

Kelly walked out on his girlfriend's proposition. He couldn't love her while he was in love with someone else.

The perfect crime has no loose ends, no one knows it happened, and no one really cares.*


Disaster strikes when unknown magic thrusts Sally through time and she arrives at school with Kelly in 1995 – the year before she was born. Sally's desire to end her own life becomes a frighteningly real possibility. She triggers a chain of events that lands her pregnant teenage mother in a dark basement, tied to a chair, with aborticide pulsing through her veins.

With little to go on Sally and Kelly frantically search for Karolee. Against the odds they discover Karolee's location, but the secrets she holds are far too valuable. Someone wants her dead, and is willing to kill anyone who interferes.

Their only hope to ever live normal lives is to solve the mysteries no one knew existed, uncover years of hidden secrets, and somehow survive it all.

The foot bridge is a 99,000 word single-title YA romance with a healthy dose of mystery and a light sprinkle of magic.
