A Pebble To Polish

By Janet Lord Leszl

**A Pebble to Polish** is a **Mom's Choice Awards**- Gold recipient for adult fiction and **USA Book News** -Best Books Award Finalist Sudden wealth isn’t all it’s cracked up to be for idealistic college student, Cassandra Delaine. A whim to enter the Powerball Lottery, on her twenty-first birthday, sets in motion a series of unintended events. The tragic loss of loved ones, coupled with an unplanned pregnancy, compel her to start life over in new surroundings. Without any friends or family, she struggles on her own to understand why her child is so difficult to raise. Tantrums at the most inopportune times, his unusual rituals and boundless energy cause her to question her abilities as a parent. Emotionally isolated, her son’s eventual diagnosis of autism threatens to push the young, single mother over sanity’s edge.
