POPPIES

by Deena Thomson

One moment can change a lifetime . . . Fourteen-year-old Jobeth Roberts' life careens out of control after a freak accident leaves her alone in the world. Her future is uncertain. A hard, desolate road filled with pain and heartache stretches ahead. She finds rays of hope in the friends who become her family; precious petals amongst the weeds. They are seeds scattered by the hands of fate . . . abandoned to the winds of time . . . The triumph and tragedies of a family that begins when a young girl with dark secrets runs to save her life. Brimming with thick suspense, conflict and sensuality, two generations clash and finally come together in a fury of drama and release
