Gypsy Autumn

Phaedra Simon is seventeen, and her life is a mess. She's starting her senior year at a new school, the kind of place with strict rules and ugly uniforms. Her corporate lawyer dad is cold and distant. Phaedra's boyfriend dumped her after she fended off his latest round of heavy breathing and sweaty palms. It's all standard teenager stuff and, normally, she could deal with it. But, Phaedra's defenses are at an all-time low after the recent death of her mom. Things start to brighten up when Tim Foley crashes into her life. He's gorgeous and sensitive and muscular. He's also on work release from the nearby juvenile detention center. Phaedra is drawn to Tim in a way she's never felt before--but he's not the kind of guy her father wants around. The question is, will her dad be able to keep them apart? Doreen Owens Malek's classic young adult novel GYPSY AUTUMN is back in print and updated to show how tough life as a teenage girl can be when love is involved and things have real, adult consequences.
