Life+As+We+Knew+It

The January selection is Life As We Knew It by Susan Pfeffer.

Life as we knew it is a survival tale about a young girl whose life has already been turned upside down through her parent's divorce, her brother's leaving to attend college, and the everyday struggles of a teenage girl. However, she just thought that she had been through trials when one day her life truly is changed forever.
