Standing Against the Wind is the giveaway that Amy and I have for you today. MacMillan has kindly donated this copy for us to share with you.
Patrice Williams was happy living in Georgia with her grandmother, then her
mother lured her to Chicago and ended up in jail. Living in the projects,
Patrice is an easy target for everyone. Not only won’t she stand up for herself,
she cares about her grades—unlike her classmates. But that draws the attention
of Monty Freeman, another eighth grader who asks Patrice to tutor his little
brother. When Monty becomes her guardian angel, Patrice begins to think
something stronger than friendship might be growing between them. Still, nothing
will stop her from applying for a scholarship at prestigious Dogwood
Academy—except her mother.

This sounds like it will be a very emotional book. It sounds really good though.
