Coping With Yarn

by Jean Shelby

LISA wants nothing more than to crochet and make YouTube videos. After losing her job, Lisa’s wish to pursue her dreams unexpectedly becomes a reality. This change comes with a price tag and a new secret she desperately wants to keep from her mom and sister. Lisa loves her new freedom but is tasked with piecing together enough income to prove herself worthy.

ARIEL has always found Lisa’s videos inspirational. Ariel finally has the opportunity that she’s been dreaming of: a chance to run away to a place where her dad won’t find her. What better place to hide than in Garden Valley?

When Lisa and Ariel navigate their paths together, they help one another through life’s challenges. The little town of Garden Valley invites one teen to start over and stay strong while Lisa searches inside for her own strength.
