When Sharon Delaney hears that her classmate, Layne Swensen, was date-raped, she wants Video High to do an expose. Tyler Ratcliff, the show's announcer and Sharon's ex-boyfriend, thinks date rape is mostly hype; Zack Stevenson thinks it's too controversial; and Kris Hogan couldn't care less. The group finally comprises on a show just about dating. Kris is thrilled. The assignment gives her the chance to spend a lot more time with Zack. Then Tyler learns what really happened to Layne. So does Kris, who suddenly has her own confession to make. Could it be true? Or is she just out for some-the-air revenge that might hurt more than it helps—herself most of all?
Author
I was born in New Britain, Connecticut, and grew up in Atlanta, Georgia. I also spent a year (5th grade) in Montgomery, Alabama, and a year in Ann Arbor, Michigan(8th grade). As a child, I always wanted to be a writer, but I had lots of other ambitions too. I wanted to be a teacher, a librarian, a movie star, the president of the United States, and a ballerina. I didn't achieve all my goals. I never became a movie star, the president of the U.S., or a ballerina. But I've been a teacher and a librarian and most of all, a writer. I've been writing for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I always kept a diary. I wrote poems, stories, plays, songs and lots of letters. Writing wasn't easy for me, but it felt natural and right. I've always read a lot, too. I was an English major at Emory University (I love Shakespeare), and I also received a master's degree in library science at Emory. I earned a Doctor of Philosophy degree from the University of Chicago, and I taught children's and teen literature at St. John's University in New York for over 20 years. Now, I'm a full-time writer, living in Paris, France - the most beautiful city in the world.
