Finding Jackson
by Anne Holster
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: YA Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
It's
1977 - Star Wars is breaking records at the box office, Bruce Springsteen's
Born to Run tour is taking the country by storm, and born-and-bred Jersey girl
Annalise Keller has fallen in love for the first and last time. Hot and
charismatic with dreams of making it as a rock star, Keith "Ace" Foxx
is everything a teenage girl dreams of. He falls as hard for Anna as she does
for him and the two decide to run off to California in search of his big break.
Fate has other plans though, and several years and three kids later, Ace has
traded in his guitar for a job at the local post office and Anna has become a
symbol of all he has given up. Ace spends most nights at the local bar, trying
to drink away his anger and resentment.
Flash
forward a decade, and their youngest child, Jackson, is headed nowhere fast. In
a life filled with meaningless jobs and too much partying, music is his only
true escape from the pain of a childhood that abruptly ended one rainy night.
The accident had destroyed his family and left him with a slew of unanswered
questions.
Everything
changes the night Jackson meets Leah. Shy and reserved, she doesn't smoke and
barely drinks; she certainly doesn't put out. Not exactly the girl from the Bon
Jovi videos he watched as a kid. Yet, before he knows it, she has become his
world.
Then,
just when it looks like his dreams might come true, betrayal and loss once
again threaten everything he holds dear. As Jackson struggles to keep his world
from spinning out of control, he knows one thing for sure, the choices he makes
now will either be the start of a whole new life, or it just might be the end
of him.

EXCERPT TWO:
It
was Halloween the first time I laid eyes on him. I’ll never forget it because
Halloween had always been my favorite holiday, maybe because for some reason I
was allowed to run wild. Things I’d never get away with were suddenly okay to
do on Halloween. For instance, staying out after dark or eating candy before dinner,
dressing inappropriately, and by inappropriately, I mean going out without a
coat when the weather dipped below fifty degrees. Things you think are cool
when you’re ten years old, which was how old I was that year. Most people may
not clearly remember their tenth Halloween, but I do and with very good reason,
because it was the day I fell in love. You might think it crazy for a fifth
grader to arrive home after a night of trick-or-treating and announce that
she’s in love and you probably wouldn’t be the only one, but that’s exactly
what I did – and I was totally serious.
It
was dusk, and the air was electric with excitement. It had been a lucrative
afternoon and my three friends and I had split up just long enough to empty our
bags of candy, grab something to eat, then regroup in an hour to hit the other
side of town. Not wanting to waste any time I decided to cut through the woods
by my house, something I didn’t usually do with darkness approaching. It was a
fateful decision that would end up altering the course of my life.
