I went to school with a boy named Harley Davidson… I know our Harley was sick of answering the question: “Like A Motorcycle?” so the title of Cat Bauer’s book, Harley Like a Person<\/a> gave me a smile.<\/p>\n

Harley is only fourteen, but already she knows there’s something<\/i> weird about her life. She’s way different from her parents, looks nothing like her siblings, and her father hates her. She’s got<\/i> to be adopted, but everytime she says something like that, her mother totally shoots her down. She’s having a bad, bad year. Her Dad’s alcoholism is completely<\/i> out of control, and Harley is seeing herself going the same way. Her schoolwork tanks, the gorgeous boy she’s dating turns out to be in trouble — all the time — and all she can think of is getting out, getting away. But the people who try to save her can’t do the one thing Harley really needs: to decide to save herself. A compelling story of a girl who decides — once and for all — to be true to herself and her real identity, no matter what it’s easier for everyone else to believe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
