Summer Giveaway #6: Ballads of Suburbia by Stephanie Kuehnert (US only)

Stephanie's second book, Ballads of Suburbia, was one of the most powerful books I read in 2009. I was lucky enough to meet her at the Teen Author Carnival, so I can offer a SIGNED finished copy of Ballads of Suburbia for my summer giveaway!

Summary:

Kara hasn't been back to Oak Park since the end of junior year, when a heroin overdose nearly killed her and sirens heralded her exit. Four years later, she returns to face the music. Her life changed forever back in high school: her family disintegrated, she ran around with a whole new crowd of friends, she partied a little too hard, and she fell in love with gorgeous bad-boy Adrian, who left her to die that day in Scoville Park....

Amid the music, the booze, the drugs, and the drama, her friends filled a notebook with heartbreakingly honest confessions of the moments that defined and shattered their young lives. Now, finally, Kara is ready to write her own. [summary from Barnes & Noble.com]
