Her parents' solution while they sort through their financial and marital problems is to send Kenzie to live with her relatives in Paris . . . Idaho!

She feels like she's about to die until she meets Adam White, the town outcast, whose been accused of killing his best friend and is being blamed for some trouble that's been happening around town.
Not only is Adam the best-looking guy she's ever seen, but he's also the most fascinating guy she's ever met and Kenzie is determined to get to know him and find out his secret. But, the longer she stays in Paris, the more she realizes, Adam isn't the only one keeping secrets.

I thought it was so awesome to see a book set in Paris, Idaho. I had the privileged of driving through once and it seems like an awesome town. I also know someone who grew up in this wonderful town. Can't wait to read.
I love everything Michele has written! I'm excited to see what she does in the YA arena and can't wait to read it.
Thanks for putting my book on your blog. It's wonderful to have such great support and interaction with other authors, awesome readers, and dedicated bloggers.
Fun story about a rich girl gone poor and her glamorous life being replaced by life on the farm. Kenzie evolves slowly from a spoiled little brat to a confident young woman while learning some valuable lessons on peer pressure and right from wrong. Cute bit of romance and small town antics round out the story making it a light fun read.
