Coley from LIVE THROUGH THIS, one of the "other brave girls of YA"

Sarah at Clear Eyes Full Shelves recently blogged during Heroine Week at Romance Around the Corner. Her post is about  female characters in young adult fiction who aren't necessarily physically strong (ala Katniss from THE HUNGER GAMES), but who are courageous in how they deal with their personal, internal conflicts. Sarah listed twelve of her favorite characters for this category, and Coley Sterling, the protagonist from my second novel, LIVE THROUGH THIS, is among them. Sarah said this in her post: "Coley is one of the bravest characters I can recall and Live Through This is a brave book, one that’s unflinching in addressing why secrets are kept and just how hard confronting the truth really is."

You can check out the entire blog post here. Hopefully, you'll find some brave female characters whom you'd like to get to know!
