Here you go!
The present is built on the past. But what if your past is a lie?
When 18 yr old Abigail Bridges’ grandmother dies, she leaves behind a mysterious letter asking her to unravel a hidden family secret.
There is only one rule: tell no one.
But meeting strangers in the dark and receiving old journals dating back to the Holocaust isn’t what she bargained for. Neither is a chance encounter with the enigmatic, brown-eyed Kade Oliver, who makes her want to discard her usually reserved nature.
After a key clue goes missing, Abigail ignores her grandmother’s rule and tells Kade everything. Together, they begin to unravel a terrifying secret. The truth may set others free, but for Abigail, it will tear her family apart.
Now, she must decide between continuing to uncover her families’ lies or burying the past once and for all.
Excited?! Want to read the first scene?

Without further ado, here it is...
I lost forty pounds after a stint in fat camp my sophomore year.
Prior to losing weight, most of my time was spent comparing myself to my twin sister and trying to hide my cankles.
However, losing weight changed everything.
Now, I'm popular, vying for the hottest guy in school, and competing for a prom queen nomination. Finally, I'm getting noticed, and it's all because I dropped the pounds.
Everything I ever wanted is right at my fingertips.
If only I could lose more weight, and I'd be perfect.
But my friend Jake tells me I want all the wrong things. He thinks I'm already perfect.
Sometimes you can't see what's right in front of you. Like how I'm spiraling in a deadly game of self-acceptance. Or how, despite being my best friend's brother, Jake has always been the one to catch me when I fall.
Can he catch me again? Or am I too far gone?
If you like emotional contemporary YA, you will fall in love with Souders' heart-wrenching novel. Like Jay Asher's Thirteen Reasons Why and Lauren Oliver's Before I Fall, More Than a Number raises thought-provoking questions about love and acceptance, as well as the cost of beauty.

Seventeen-year-old Grace Michaels is determined to be thin, even if she dies trying.
Part of the in-crowd at Providence High, she is steps away from being asked out by the most desired guy at school, winning a prom queen nomination, and her parents' approval. If she can just get skinny enough, be pretty enough, and popular enough. But Grace is thin on the outside and fat on the inside. No amount of weight-loss ever seems enough. Convinced the melting pounds will solve her problems, every pound lost brings her closer to her goals. But flesh and bone can only hide the weight of her secret for so long. Fans of the emotional and thought-provoking contemporary YA fiction, such as Before I Fall, Thirteen Reasons Why, and All The Bright Places will fall in love with Souder's heart-wrenching novel, SOMETHING OF SUBSTANCE. |
Coming March 28th... I'm so excited to share with you!

Souders tells the heartbreaking, yet ultimately transcendent story of 18-year-old Samantha, whose remarkable musical abilities could be her escape from a family devastated by tragedy and steeped in guilt, sadness, and recrimination. But when a terrible accident seems to destroy her dreams for the future, Sam discovers a new path forward and new hope when she becomes involved with a remarkable young boy and his grandmother, a caring older neighbor who guards a secret that will change the troubled teenager’s life forever
