When Winters Cross

by Mia Stegner Bode

Lexi Winters was not an average teenage girl. With few friends and not much of a social life, Lexi dedicated most of her free time to thinking about the complex puzzle of existence. Things begin to change when her little brother Brody starts dating a girl named Emma Cross, who has an older brother named Sam. Despite their siblings’ wish for them to get along, Sam and Lexi can hardly stand each other, seeming to disagree on just about everything. However, the two have more in common than they initially realize, and their time together soon evolves into a meaningful friendship. Join Lexi and Sam as they navigate challenges, face their fears, and contemplate some of life’s greatest mysteries in this thoughtful second novel by teen author Maya Ellynd Stegner Bode.
