Review: A Life Redefined -Book #1 Life Series -Tracy Hewitt Meyer - June 2013

In Rowan's family, she is known as the girl who ruined everything after her baby brother died when she was eight years old. From that moment on, it seems that whenever anything goes wrong, it is Rowan's fault despite the rest of her family's failings. Rowan is the reason her father hates her family, the reason her mum won't get out of bed and the reason her sister is traipsing all around the school. What will happen though when something positive happens to Rowan as Mike - the school quarterback asks her to the Prom . Will her family stand in the way of her happiness once again, especially when her younger sister spreads lies about Mike which end up getting the police involved.  Will Rowan discover a guardian angel that will help her to escape the past she has been caged in , in order to move on with her future plans and what will happen when the truth about why and how her baby brother "really" died comes pouring out in the end?

Find out in this edgy novel, which if you loved Rebecca Donovan's Reason to Breathe series - you will really enjoy "A Life, Redefined" as it touches on similar but less abusive issues and scenarios as where Rebecca's books are more physical violence, Tracey Hewitt Meyer's tend to be more emotional and verbal abuse.
