YA
When Ruby is publicly accused of plagiarizing in her hit novel, she flees to Whispering Oaks, a sleepy town where her aunt runs a café. Changing her name to Georgie and swearing off books, Ruby makes friends, becomes invested in the town's lore, and lets her true personality shine through. A timely (if overly preachy) novel of pressure and consequences.
