And it would be a relief to finally tell someone what really happened the night Tommy Sullivan was spray-painted on the new wall outside the gymnasium-in neon orange, which still hasn't been sandblasted off. After all, everyone knows that's what drove Tommy out of town four years ago. But now Tommy Sullivan has come back. Katie is sure he's out for revenge, and she'll do anything to hang on to her perfect (if slightly dishonest) existence. Even if it means telling more lies than ever. Even if, now that Tommy's around, she's actually-no lie-having the time of her life.

A Story to Live by

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Galloway, Kathy, PUBLISHER: United Church Press, When she was young, Kathy Galloway found that a poem by Walt Whitman gave her a sense of truth. As she grew and reflected on the poem, she discovered three "convictions": that the beingness of the world is good, that its intrinsic worth is in its relatedness, and that nothing is more miraculous than the ordinary. These three convictions are part of the story she lives by. In this book, Galloway uses her experiences to help us contemplate three basic questions: What is my story? What has helped shape my story? and How does my story relate to the stories of others? Drawing on her knowledge of Celtic spirituality and her deep sense of social justice, she addresses such themes as the search for roots, the role of work, and the need for values.
