As Autumn Leaves

Kayla Caruso is sixteen and, despite at one time being a popular cheerleader, she knows she doesn't feel the same about relationships as her classmates. She dated a boy once to fit in, but broke up with him because she wasn’t ready to have sex. Labeled “Ice Queen” by those who bully her, Kayla finds only a few friends willing to accept her. One of them is Althea Ritter, the school’s volleyball star, who’s rumored to be a lesbian. Kayla finds herself drawn to Althea. But Kayla’s confused. Are her feelings straight, bi, or gay? Or perhaps she’s not interested in sex with anyone, male or female. Kayla tries to work through these puzzling emotions, a task not so easy for a high school sophomore.
