Year My Parents Ruined My Life - Softcover

Publisher's Weekly loved this book!
(From the 9/15 review in PW) ". . . In 16 economically penned chapters, Freeman chronicles the woes of a displaced Californian adjusting to a new house...a new school...and a new climate. While the heroine remains center stage, minor characters provide a colorful backdrop....Although the general scheme of things is predictable, the author plants enough surprises to keep readers alert and satisfied. Her personable characters, dry sense of humor and understanding of the adolescent mind are sure to draw a tidal wave of fans.

Martha Freeman is the author of Stink Bomb Mom, a comic novel for children. She wrote and edited hundreds of articles for newspapers and magazines before tiring of real life and returning to fiction. A native Californian, she now lives in State College, Pennsylvania, with her husband and three children.
