She was never very wealthy so when she was younger she would read alot of books. She now lives with her husband in Salt Lake City, Utah. __Story of a Girl__ was her first novel.**

= **Teen Depression**    = In this novel, teen depression was an issue. After Deanna's father found her in the backseat with an older boy, she was never the same. Her barely ever talked to her and couldnt look her in the face. Even years after, nothing changed. Deanna began to get depressed and cry every night. Teen depression is still a big social issue. The risks of it is numerous. some of the main causes are abuse, being bullied, conflicts at home, effect of hormones, isolation, low self-esteem, and more.

Deanna Lambert as Miley Cyrus because the entire time i read my book, i pictured Deanna as Miley.

and Tommy as Ryan because everyone looks at them both as horrible people.
