    Losing Forever
    by Gayle Friesen

    Ninth-grader Jes Miner-Cooper knows that she isn’t responsible for her parents’ divorce; their marriage started to fail after her little sister, Alberta, died.



    What bothers her is the perception that her folks are hiding something from her. Her father spends most of his time fishing and reading Russian novels; her mother is absorbed in plans to remarry.



    Jes’ friends aren’t any help: one is involved in a new romance; another, Sam, wants to be more than just a friend.



    Then along comes beautiful Pamela, the daughter of Jes’ mother’s intended. In short order, Pamela takes over Jes’ room, Jes’ best girlfriend, and Jes’ wannabe boyfriend.



    When Jes is accused of shoplifting, she’s sure her old world is gone forever.
