"The Sleepover" - When Does Imagination Begin to Conceal Reality?

TAMPA, Fla. - Aug. 20, 2013 - PRLog -- Nine-year-old Trisha Williams has a wonderful imagination and is a magnificent writer. She writes about how much she loves and adores her mother, and about the time her mother once saved the life of the president of the United States!

But Trisha isn’t being honest! She hasn’t told anyone that she lives with her grandmother, and that she has yet to meet her mother. Trisha’s classmates love to hear her stories, but not everyone is convinced by her elaborate tales. Someone in Trisha’s class thinks that she should be exposed as a fraud. Trisha believes that if anyone ever finds out about her secret, they will abandon her, just as her mom did. So she does everything in her power to keep the reality about her mother a secret; even if it means concealing her writing talent.

One day Trisha’s teacher tells the class that the local newspaper is sponsoring a short story contest and one student will be chosen to represent the class. Trisha wants no part of the contest because it would mean dealing with the fact that she is a motherless child. Somehow one of Trisha’s stories about her mother is submitted and she is chosen to represent her class in the contest. The prize is a mother-daughter sleepover in which Trisha is expected to bring and showcase her mother. Will Trisha’s secret be exposed, or will she learn to accept her life for what it is? Find out what happens in the emotional and touching children’s book The Sleepover.

About the Author: Raised by her grandmother in Miami, Tarreka Garnett is now a teacher in Tampa, Florida. “When I was young, I wished there was a story that reflected me. A story that told me that I was normal and that I was loved. I wrote this story so children know and understand that families come in all shapes and sizes. Love isn’t measured by who is raising you; it is measured by the effort and love that they exhibit while they are doing it.”
