Olivia, Finding Her Way Tessa Palmeri

Stand for something, or you might fall for anything ... Olivia Miller is off to college at NHU with her boyfriend, Cameron McClain. Now that they're in a new place and around new people, Olivia wants to make sure she doesn't turn into one of those clingy, possessive girlfriends. She needs to find her own way. To Cordelia, freedom from her parents is the biggest perk of college. It's a time to figure out who she wants to be, what she wants to do. But as she tries to adjust to the unfamiliar environment, she realizes she's led a pretty sheltered life. Embracing the college culture isn't as easy as she expected it to be. It doesn't help that some things-and people-aren't what they seem, especially her roommate. When things get difficult and confusing, Olivia retreats into her pre-college insecurities and loses her perspective. At her worst, things spin out of control, and she messes up something that's really important to her. Thankfully, her former boss and mentor, Mrs. K, helps her figure some things out for herself. Now, is it too late, or can Olivia recover what she's lost? While she's still trying to work all that out, she gets a frantic call from her sister, Emma, who's upset about their mom. Olivia's newfound, yet fragile, confidence is tested. Can she continue to build on her Christian faith, and will she ever work up the nerve to confront her father's judgmental and critical attitudes?NOTE TO READERS: This is a Young Adult / New Adult set in 1991-1992.
