From the Inside Flap:

I don't feel anything. Nothing. Allie walked until she found herself next to the girl's bathroom. She sank down and sat on the filthy floor, hugging herself. Don't feel anything. Don't. Nothing--"Why?" she whimpered. "Why, Seal? Why did you set me up?" Grow up, the cold voice inside her answered. You don't need her. You don't need any of them. You're better than them. Stronger. Unique. Alone. Like an Ice Queen. Like Ginger. "Yeah," she muttered. Ginger Josslyn, the coldest Ice Queen, sneering, sarcastic...Ginger, who probably never darkened the doors of a church in her life, who was cruel and cold and strong... Ginger wouldn't stand by and let herself get humiliated or insulted. Ginger wouldn't be the good little girl, like Nikki. Ginger would get back at them.Boom. She looked up, frowning. She had barely heard it--a deep, muffled sound. And other sounds, barely audible--water. Water swishing.There. It was coming from a battered metal door a few feet away. Hmm. Allie walked up to the door. Interesting.

John lives with his wife Katie near Philadelphia, PA. In his spare time, he posts videos on YouTube of himself playing crazy songs on the guitar for his young son, and writes books for Catholic teens. If you run into him, give him three dollars. Because he's written you another book.
