Ways To Say Goodbye: The Beginning

Kiera Anderson has always had everything. Her thirteen years never containing bullying or loneliness. Every school year she has enjoyed countless friends, and she doesn’t assume this year to be any different. The first day of eighth grade comes around, and she is as happy as ever. The chance to have another perfect year, except everything goes downhill after new student Claire Bennet walks through the classroom door. All of a sudden, Kiera is no longer the best. She no longer has a spot on the soccer team or more than two friends, and that is all thanks to Claire. Claire has easily taken her spot on the top of the social pyramid, and this means revenge. Claire Bennet has always moved around. Her small family of three on the lookout for a miracle. For three years now, she has known that her younger brother Tommy has brain cancer. They have done everything they can, but now he only has one year to live. As they make their final move to Newburg, California, Claire’s grandmother has given up, but Claire hasn’t. She is on the mission to make this year the best of her brother’s life. Filling up each day with new experiences and the life that every boy deserves. Will she be able to say goodbye when the time comes, or will she never be able to move on?
