Yesterday, I Was Fine
Yesterday, I Was Fine begins with Lou, a typical teenager, celebrating with her best friend over the joys of summer. Almost immediately, a family crisis changes everything. Lou's parents send her away for the summer to live with her brother and his best friend in a town where Lou knows no one else. Her emotions as she struggles to adjust to the situation range from confusion and fear to sorrow and pain to healing and joy. The people she meets and builds relationships with give her the support she needs to forge her own path toward coping with the crisis. This book is labeled Young Adult, but adults of all ages can identify Lou's journey back to a sense of normalcy. Johnson has given us a beautifully written, compelling tale of healing and hope. Throughout, the authenticity of the writer's voice brings the characters to life and draws the reader in, making us feel like part of the story.
