General fiction (Children's&YA)

Ruth feels that she can never be good enough for her religious family with high expectations. However, life has a way of providing the unexpected and suddenly, in a eureka moment, Ruth has the opportunity to assume a new identity. She becomes Sinamon and learns to experience life without feeling personal guilt. But meeting special people who hold very different values to her own means that she has to make a choice- to go back home or to stay with her new family. Which is the right decision for Ruth?

SELLING POINTS
* Margaret's young adult books are very often her strongest and most successful. She has an amazing skill in writing books for this target audience. Her themes are poignant, relevant and

interesting and her style readable.
* As Margaret is very in-touch with young adults today (through her lecturing, teaching, penpal relationships, fan mail and school visits), she treats her subjects with sensitivity and knowledge but also with a certain fearlessness to 'show things as they are'. This ability has been part of Margaret's enormous success with her readers. She simply does write about things that children and young adults can relate to.
* Margaret is one of Random House's bestselling children's authors - her name sells.
