HOW I LIVE NOW (Wendy Lamb Books, 2006)
Fifteen-year-old Daisy, suffering from anorexia, is sent from her posh Manhattan home by her father to live with her bohemian aunt and cousins in the English countryside. To her surprise, her world expands with her new family, her health returns, and she finds true love as well. But the fairy tale doesn’t last for long, as the Apocalypse is coming closer to her country idyll. A page-turner of poetic vision and true human insight, with the reader witnessing Daisy’s stunning evolution from spoiled to self-sacrificing.
