Product Description
If you heard a strange noise from the apartment upstairs, would you make an effort to find out what happened? What if something happened, but the victim begged you to leave it alone? What if there was obvious evidence of violence, but the denials were adamant? Would you forget about it and walk away? What if you were only 17? I'm Cy McEntire. I wouldn't call myself a typical teenager. I'm only average in the smarts department. Meeting Lizzy was an accident, but one I'd never be able to forget. I was just sitting at home watching Law & Order reruns when I heard a girl in the apartment upstairs. She was hurt. I was breaking the golden rule of being a successful hermit, but I couldn't help it. If what I thought was happening in that upstairs apartment was actually happening, I had to find out. I was so sure that I would be wrong that when I wasn't, I had no idea what to do. So I didn't do anything. It was obvious the girl was being abused, but she adamantly denied anything was wrong. What was I supposed to do? I'm not all-knowing, so I just left. But I couldn't get the girl out of my head.
About the Author
SarahBeth Carter is the author of LJW Publishing's first fiction book: Meeting Lizzy. She can't seem to stop reading, and at times, it seems that writing is her only form of effective communication. SarahBeth graduated from Arizona State University with a degree in English literature, followed by a slew of previous majors that she thoroughly enjoyed experimenting with. She's married with two kids and sometimes wonders if she has come home to an insane asylum, but then ... isn't that normal? She someday wants to spend the night in an Irish castle and possibly, if it's allowed, touch one of the stones at Stonehenge.

See all customer reviews...Okay for serious I read this book in one short day. Once you start reading it, you can't put it down. Very good SarahBeth! I have to tell you that Sarah Beth has been telling me since she was seriously five years old that she was going to write books when she got older, and has written many, many, many little books since then. Congrats little sis! Love you! :)
