D is for Defective
Gracie Baxter is defective . . . at least that is how she sees herself.
Since she was a child, Gracie has struggled with dyslexia, as words and letters switch places and swirl around in her brain. Feeling misunderstood and alone, she pinches her skin in secret to cope with her anxiety. Things only get worse when Gracie is mainstreamed into general education classes at the start of her junior year and she can no longer hide in the special education classroom. Now Gracie has to find a way to fit in while keeping her dyslexia and self-harm a secret.
Everything changes when Landon Cater, a ghost from Gracie’s past, returns to school after a two-year absence. Their friendship was abruptly cut off when Landon disappeared without a trace. But Landon is hiding his own secrets. His father has just been released from prison, and now Landon has more things to worry about than winning football games as the school quarterback and winning Gracie’s heart.
As Gracie and Landon rekindle their relationship, their secrets will be revealed. Can they face the truth, or will the secrets of the past be too much to overcome?

About the author
R.E.S. Tidmore
9 books43 followersI am a defective writer that writes. I have an MFA in creative writing. Being dyslexic: Writing was never something I thought I would make a living at. Writing isn’t only about crossing your T’s and dotting your I’s. It’s about storytelling and doing it in all the best ways. I love Jane Austen, tattoos, sarcasm, quick wit, gardening, all things Harry Potter, being a writing coach, and a happy ever after.
