It's My Life

Stacie Ramey

If she wants a future with him, she'll have to make peace with her past.

Jenna's never let her cerebral palsy get her down. But when she discovers that her condition was actually caused by an injury at birth, she's furious with her parents, who withheld the truth. And as they push her to get yet another difficult procedure, Jenna feels her control over her life starting to slip.

Enter Julian, Jenna's childhood crush. He's just moved back to town, and he's struggling in school, so Jenna reaches out to him--anonymously--to help. Soon, their conversations are about so much more than class. She's falling for him all over again, hard and fast. But would Julian still be interested in her if he knew who she really was? And can she find a way to take back her own narrative before she pushes away everyone she loves?

Praise for this book

"The read-er, while absorbed in an engag-ing sto-ry filled with light moments and humor as well as seri-ous issues and con-tro-ver-sy, learns much about legal eman-ci-pa-tion, auton-o-my, and cere-bral pal-sy; as well as about self-con-fi-dence and the abil-i-ty to rebound even after seri-ous errors of judg-ment." -- Michal Hoschan-der Malen, Jewish Book Council
" A straightforward story set at a lively pace, with appeal for both romance and coming-of-age fans." -- Booklist
"The book benefits from the crisp language and humor, and strong family relationships." -- School Library Journal
