No Tolerance.

by Karen Cook

Lisa Mason is the victim of a terrible crime. She pacifies her troubled soul through denial and copes as well as most teenagers whose working parents are too busy to understand the depth of her pain. When the one person Lisa trusts moves away and her only source of support is gone, her fragile world begins to crumble. Will pressures at school and at home force her to tolerate injustice, or will she fight back? No Tolerance explores modern social standards that fail teens and families, yet preserves compassion for the story's characters. It dares to expose cracks in some of our nation's basic policies, while protecting the humanity of individuals caught in the system. Ultimately, this compelling, contemporary suburban saga is one of crisis, survival, and in the end - hope.
