                    Cassie Greenwood once described her job as Activities
                    Director at Bennington High School in Oakview as a roller
                    coaster ride.  There are triumphs and challenges, and
                    the ride can often be bumpy and uncertain.  But her
                    life is a good one, surrounded by a cast of characters who
                    journey with her on myriad adventures that often seem to
                    come her way. 
                     
                    There’s her best friend Ellie, a multi-talented
                    administrative assistant who has a keen insight into life.
                    And Declan, a sophomore, who feels the need to put his
                    personal stamp of approval on all of Cassie’s life
                    decisions. Bruno, her second father, offers hugs and support
                    in abundance. Her stern, enigmatic principal, nicknamed the
                    General, runs a tight ship at Bennington and she is shrouded
                    in mystery. And there’s a certain Oakview native who returns
                    to his hometown and warms Cassie’s heart with his beach-boy
                    good looks and smile. 
                     
                    But Cassie is unaware of the one adventure that she didn’t
                    plan for:  the discovery of her birth parents and the
                    revelations it brings. 
                    Will this knowledge enhance or detract from Cassie’s already
                    great life?  
                     
                    About the Author
                    After having taught high school English and journalism for
                    many years, Tanya Katnic traded in her teacher’s podium for
                    a writer’s desk in crafting this first
                    novel.     With her twin sons married
                    and on their own, she lives with her husband and a very
                    overprotective basenji dog in Southern California. 
                    Years ago, she was inspired with the title of this novel
                    when a student asked her:  “Aren’t you supposed to be
                    our mother away from home?”
