A Blank Slate (The Brinlee James Series Book 1)

Sixteen year old Brinlee James had it all.

An amazing life€¦
She was slated to be the next face of college softball, having led her team to a state championship with pitches most had to see to believe.

An unbelievable family€¦
Her mom was everything she wanted to be. Kind, caring, beautiful, and adventurous; always finding a positive way to embrace life. She was there through all of Brinlee€s accomplishments, encouraging her to embrace her talents and let them shine.

An unsurpassable strength€¦
Her mom was her strength.

An indescribable home€¦
Home was where the heart was, right?

But the summer before her junior year, everything she had- her life, family, strength, and home -was taken from her, and now, a year later, Brinlee isn€t sure how to start over.
Her only source of guidance and direction is gone, and her father hasn€t had anything to do with her since it all happened.

Claiming they both need a fresh start, Brinlee€s father arranges for her to go live with her grandparents in Georgia, the place where her mom grew up and Brinlee spent half of her childhood.
€œIt€s time to move on and forget,€ he said. €œStart over and feel normal€¦ a blank slate.€
But being in Georgia means anything but starting over for Brinlee; not when memories of her mom keep surfacing everywhere.
And with her hovering grandparents, her oldest friend in the world, and the boy who managed to steal her first kiss not going anywhere, she comes face to face with her reality; her blank slate.

As Brinlee begins to come to terms with everything, she discovers that sometimes the people you least expect to win your heart are the very ones that help guide it. All it takes is faith and trust, and the ability to give God her blank slate.
