Sketches of My Soul (Sketches #1)
By TC Booth
Genre: Contemporary
Age category: Young Adult
Release Date: June 20, 2017
Blurb:
In the game of life, I was used to being on the losing team. The odds were stacked against me. Tegan’s Team—a mom who tried to control me, a dad who would rather drink then spend time being a father, a lying ex-boyfriend, and fake friends. Like any team however, you have that one shining star that stood out above the rest. For me that star was Emily, my best friend.
I guess life had pity on me the day it gave me a friend that always had my back. Life must have felt extra giving the day it gave me a cheer leader—Mrs. White, my next-door neighbor. She’d been more of a parent to me growing up then my own parents.
And then there was Andrew. He was my shooting star. One that I never saw coming. One that I hoped became mine over the summer of my senior year.
A glimpse into a crystal ball couldn’t have prepared me for that summer, though. The summer where a letter from my mom rocked me to the core. I felt the world shake with every word I read in that letter. By the time I reached the end, my world split wide open swallowing me whole.

Excerpt:
I
reached the mailbox at the end of my driveway and sifted through the mail.
Maybe I’d find a notice that I’d won a trip
to another country, like Italy. I’d meet a hot Italian boy with a love of
culture and music … stay there and study art … The sound of spraying water pulled me out of my thoughts of Italian
boys. My jaw dropped at the sight next door. Holy hotness! A shirtless guy that
looked a little older than me, sprayed suds off a black jeep in my
sixty-eight-year-old neighbor’s
driveway. His muscles on full display. A tattoo flexed on his bicep with the
flick of the hose. His dark hair curled at the ends and dipped into his face.
Where did he come from and why was he at Mrs. White’s house? I swiped a palm over my mouth to make sure I didn’t have drool
dripping down my chin.
Just then Mrs. White zoomed up to check her
mail on a hot-pink scooter with helmet to match. The sight of her sparked a
grin. “Hi, Mrs. White. I like your new
wheels.”
“Hello, Tegan. She’s pretty, ain’t
she?” Mrs. White rubbed her hand over the scooter. Bits of her white hair
peeked out from under her helmet. Dark circles framed her emerald eyes.
“Yes, she sure is.” I nodded. Mrs.
White was like a grandma to me. I didn’t have grandparents growing up, and
she’d taken me in like one of her own. She said that she saw a lot of herself
in me. My eyes slipped from her to the shirtless wonder washing his jeep in her
driveway. Mrs. White’s eyes followed mine and she let out a squeal, causing me
to jump and fling my mail. “Do you remember Drewy? He decided to pay his
grandma a visit. About time.” She waved
a hand in the air and called out, “Drewy come over here and say hello to
Tegan.”
I dropped down to gather my scattered mail.
Drewy. A fuzzy image a curly brown haired boy formed in my mind. We used to
play together when we were little. He and his mom spent a lot of time at Mrs.
White’s. One day, they up and moved to Michigan. I hadn’t seen him since. It
never crossed my mind that it could be him next door. I rose and nearly tossed
the mail all over again. Drewy McHottie was Andy!
