Book
Release – Where U @ by K.C. Sprayberry
Blurb: Trea Jones has always known the bitterness of bigotry and abject poverty. Her half-Cherokee daddy disappeared thirteen years ago on the pretense of getting milk. Mama has done nothing but mourn his loss, and she blames Trea for that. Now that she's starting her senior year of high school, Trea hopes for something better, but she doesn't hold out much hope.
Until …
She loosens up on some of her rules. Her guy, Dave, proves
to her that she is worthy of everything the others have. The last day of
classes prior to the winter break, she's ready to share some stupendous news
with Dave, but tragedy intervenes when her daddy texts while driving a bus.
Trea is left wondering if she can ever be free of a curse that heaps a lot of
bad luck on her whenever good things happen to her.

Excerpt:
Where
U @
The text is from my guy, Dave Woods.
It's a code, a way for him to help me feel better about everything. Mostly,
it's his way of showing me that he cares.
Kitchen.
I roll my eyes. Cleaning.
Want
to come do mine?
His return text sends me into a fit of
giggles. That's something only he can accomplish.
RFS?
More code, and this one sends fear
shivers up and down my spine. I am in no way ready for school, but I'll have to
go tomorrow, no matter what.
I text him back, slide my phone into a
pocket, and open the door to a floor to ceiling pantry. To put away the last of
the dishes, I have to step into a room that is narrower than a shoebox.
The same reaction overtakes me that I
experience every single night, as soon as my foot moves through the doorway.
Cold sweat rolls down my back. I can't catch my breath, and the walls feel like
they're squeezing the life out of me.
