About Love and Leftovers
My wish
is to
fall
cranium over Converse
in dizzy, daydream-worthy
love.
(If only it were that easy.)
When her parents split, Marcie is
dragged from Idaho to a family summerhouse in New Hampshire. She leaves behind
her friends, a group of freaks and geeks called the Leftovers, including her
emo-rocker boyfriend, and her father. By the time Labor Day rolls around,
Marcie suspects this "vacation" has become permanent. She starts at a
new school where a cute boy brings her breakfast and a new romance heats up.
But understanding love, especially
when you've watched your parents' affections end, is elusive. What does it feel
like, really? Can you even know it until you've lost it?

About the Author
Raised without
television, Sarah Tregay started writing her own middle grade novels after she
had read all of the ones in the library. She later discovered YA books, but
never did make it to the adult section. When she's not jotting down poems at
stoplights, she can be found hanging out with her "little sister"
from Big Brothers Big Sisters. Sarah lives in Eagle, Idaho with her husband,
two Boston Terriers, and an appaloosa named Mr. Pots. Her next book, Fan Art,
will be released in June.
