Synopsis
My sympathy fades as Chardonnay twists around to spread her lips in a demented grin. Her long yellow teeth probably haven't seen a toothbrush in months. I take a chance and smile back, and what do I get? A pudgy middle finger jabbed under my nose. My next thought is : Wow. I may not even survive homeroom. One hour into her first day of tenth grade, Martha Kowalski knows she's really in trouble. The school bully, Chardonnay, has already threatened her life--and at home, things are even worse. Martha's mom, fresh out of rehab, is shacking up with an obnoxious jerk in a neighborhood that can only be described as a "ghetto." More than anything she's ever wanted, Martha wants to play the cello. But even music becomes dangerous to her health--because nothing is what it seems in this place. With her mother's willpower dissolving, Martha watches helplessly as her own dreams slip further away. But in an exhilarating twist that would stun even Cinderella, everything changes. A wealthy lawyer invites her into his family's home and Martha is given a chance to start over. The warm, caring Brinkmans treat Martha like one of the family and even though it feels so right, she knows they can't be as perfect as they seem. And she knows that this fairy tale can't last forever... An unforgettable debut, Before, After and Somebody in Between is smart, poignant, and very real., "My sympathy fades as Chardonnay twists around to spread her lips in a demented grin.

Item description from the seller
Seller Feedback (1,333)
- a***a (75)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseExcellent packaging, I appreciated that the seller thoroughly labeled the package as fragile. Shipping wasn’t the quickest, but considering it stayed at a distribution hub for a few days, it might have gotten misplaced for a bit. The artwork has seen better days, but I knew that before purchasing it. The seller was both very good at showing the damaged areas in the photos on the listing and being frank in the description about how and where it was damaged that you couldn’t on the photos.
- i***a (455)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI was very happy to find this edition of a vintage education book, complete with dustcover, at a price and shipping cost that I could afford. It is in good condition, as described, was well-packed for shipping, and was delivered in good time.
