Please Love Me
For as long as she can remember, 17-year-old Peyton Bound has struggled to remain strong despite being lost in the whirlwind of her emotionally disturbed mother’s life … then she finds Matthew Adler at a frat party. He’s the first boy who kisses her with open eyes; Peyton finally sees herself in their sparkling reflection. She’s confident that her fairytale moment has finally arrived, the day when everything will magically fall into place, and the burdens of her disturbing childhood will begin to lift. But when everything goes wrong, Peyton can no longer run from the truth about herself. Something is missing, and no one can save her.
Penelope's novel, Please Love Me, gives a raw voice to some of the deepest issues contributing to teenage suicide. It's an honest look into the need for love and truth in a world full of craziness, and just how far some will go to find it. Please Love Me is one of Penelope's most sensitive books. It's based on her coming-of-age story that took place at a time when AIDS was a whisper, cell phones were a fantasy; Madonna and Cyndi Lauper spoke to the heart of 18-year-old girls; and the information superhighway was nowhere to be found.
What readers are saying about Please Love Me and Penelope's writing:
WOW - Definitely a Must-Read!
"Please Love Me was a very moving book. Knowing that the book is based on true events, it was hard to read at times because of the brutal honesty. But I was intrigued and could not put the book down. It was very well-written and so descriptive. And I love that at times the author addressed the reader. The book shows insight into what living with a parent with mental illness is like and the subsequent effects it has on the entire family. As I read, I couldn't help but feel so much empathy for the main character and how she was on a quest to be loved - to fill a void in her life. So much for a teenager to go through." Becky and JJ on Amazon, 5 Stars!
