THE ACCIDENTALS

In the tradition of THE PRINCESS DIARIES and ABOUT A BOY, THE ACCIDENTALS is a contemporary novel that hits just the right notes of romance, heartbreak, and new beginnings.

Never ask a question unless you're sure you want the truth. I've been listening to my father sing for my whole life. I carry him in my pocket on my mp3 player. It's just that we've never met face to face. My mother would never tell me how I came to be, or why my rock star father and I have never met. I thought it was her only secret. I was wrong. When she dies, he finally appears. Suddenly I have a first class ticket into my father's exclusive world. A world I don't want any part of not at this cost. Only three things keep me going: my a cappella singing group, a swoony blue-eyed boy named Jake, and the burning questions in my soul. There's a secret shame that comes from being an unwanted child. It drags me down, and puts distance between me and the boy I love. My father is the only one alive who knows my history. I need the truth, even if it scares me. Sarina Bowen is a life-long music nerd, although her B.A. from Yale is in economics. The daughter of a percussionist, she currently lives in Vermont with her family, eight chickens and more ski and hockey gear than seems necessary. Sarina is the author of THE YEAR WE FELL DOWN, a quirky, heartbreaking New Adult novel. She also writes romance for the new imprint Harlequin-e. THE ACCIDENTALS is her first novel for the YA market.
