She's tired of being a nomad. Beginning junior year in a new location, can she build independence and a future?
Sierra Vista, Arizona. Sarah Redmond struggles to start over yet again. Constantly moving because of her flighty mom, the lonely teen feels like she's forever on the outside looking in on other kids' lasting friendships. But after meeting classmates who share her knitting passion and befriending a boy who inspires her to strive for greatness, she hopes a social breakthrough is finally in the cards.
Overcoming a mean girl's machinations, a lucrative business that backfires, and a deadbeat dad who fails her once again, the young woman's confidence soars. But just as she dares to dream that college and a well-paying career might be a real possibility, her mother decides it's time to pull up barely set roots.
Can Sarah keep her burgeoning aspirations alive?
Always the New Girl is a novel made up of six interconnecting stories about a high schooler who wants to belong. If you like heroines who grow, found families, and beating the odds, then you'll love Kelly Vincent's coming-of-age tale.
