If only her life were a story on paper, she could tear it into a million pieces and start over.

Set on Long Island in 1979, Randi's Steps is a coming-of-age novel inspired by the author's own childhood experience. Francie struggles to be someone she's not and somehow control her world that way. But she can't control Randi's frequent headaches that ruin their summer fun.

Randi goes away for mysterious medical tests, leaving Francie to endure the bullies at school alone. When Randi returns, Francie is elated until her mother greets her with tears and tragic news. Randi has cancer. As Randi's battle with disease drags on, Francie's desire to fit in at school pulls her away from the person who needs her most.

Francie wants to be loyal and caring to Randi, but when put to the test, she fails. Randi's Steps exposes the dark places in a young girl's heart and the challenges of facing the truth about herself. How will their friendship survive the disease that changes everything?

Randi's Steps is a beautiful, bittersweet story told by Francie, the little girl neighbor who befriends Randi when she moves in next door. Judge captures a wonderful narrative voice, real and warm and very human.
