The Law of Loving Others

Written by Kate Axelrod

Emma has just returned home from her boarding school for Christmas Break. But her mom is acting strange and paranoid. It turns out that her mom is experiencing a schizophrenic breakdown. Emma starts questioning who she is and who she will become. As a result her relationship with her boyfriend starts to fall apart on her end. With her world turned upside down, will Emma be able to figure out who she wants to be?

The sexual content of this book is descriptive and inappropriate for younger YA audiences. Some older teens may not be ready either.
