The True Colors of Caitlynne Jackson - Hardcover

Working together to attend school, see to their physical needs, and avoid a violently abusive mother, twelve-year-old Caity and her sister Kara find support from sympathetic friends and fear what will happen when their mother abandons them.

Carol Lynch Williams, a two-time winner of the Utah Original Writing Competition, is the author of several books for children, including two novels about the Orton family of New Smyrna, Florida: Kelly and Me and Adeline Street. A starred School Library Journal review of The True Colors of Caitlynne Jackson praises Williams as she "again demonstrates her facility at mood and character development... Truer colors are hard to come by."
Her most recent novel, If I Forget, You Remember, is a moving intergenerational story that stresses the bonds that hold families together through difficult times--a help since over 19 million Americans have a family member with Alzheimer's disease.
