2023 FINALIST - AMERICAN WRITING AWARDS
YOUNG ADULT - NONFICTION
Congratulations to 16-year old author, Riley Boerger, for receiving the recognition of 2023 FINALIST - AMERICAN WRITING AWARDS, YOUNG ADULT - NONFICTION category for TWELVE SPOONS!
Sixty-two doctor appointments, sixteen blood draws, one surgical procedure, and one hell of a story.
Ruth Bilbruck, a normal girl living in a small town in Washington lived a normal television life. She went to school, had friends and hopes for the future. That all changed when Ruth started having sharp, stabbing pain in her hips.
She traded in her soccer uniform for scratchy paper gowns; Associated Student Body meetings, for doctor appointments; and her normal body, for one that feels like it's failing. Her life changed. Leaving her with a fear of increased pain, and grief for the life she once lived. Leaving her to wonder what is the cause, and what does the future now hold?
****
This book is based off of personal experiences of the 15-year old author, Riley Boerger. Writing this book was very therapeutic for her and she is hoping that it will help other teens who live through chronic illnesses.
Age recommendation - 12 - 18+ years old
