Today's giveaway is BREAKING BEAUTIFUL by Jennifer Shaw Wolf. Much thanks to Jennifer for her donation.

Allie lost everything the night her boyfriend, Trip, died in a horrible car accident—including her memory of the event. As their small town mourns his death, Allie is afraid to remember because doing so means delving into what she’s kept hidden for so long: the horrible reality of their abusive relationship.

When the police reopen the investigation, it casts suspicion on Allie and her best friend, Blake, especially as their budding romance raises eyebrows around town. Allie knows she must tell the truth. Can she reach deep enough to remember that night so she can finally break free? Debut writer Jennifer Shaw Wolf takes readers on an emotional ride through the murky waters of love, shame, and, ultimately, forgiveness.

Jennifer Shaw Wolf feels like she has lived her teen years at least three times; first as a teen herself, second with the two teens (and two teens to be) that inhabit her house, and third through the teens she writes. At least in the third case, she can make the teens do what she wants (most of the time). Still, it makes for an angsty, hormone charged, exciting journey of a life, and she wouldn’t have it any other way. She resides in the lush, green, and sometimes mysterious (read foggy and rainy), forests of Northwest Washington with the love or her life and their four minions. When she isn’t writing or chasing said minions she can be found reading, running, actually using her Communications degree to produce videos, and on rare occasions, sleeping. Her debut novel, BREAKING BEAUTIFUL came out in April of 2012. Her second novel, tentatively titled SHARDS OF GLASS will be released in September of 2013 from Walker Books for Young Readers.
