“Followed Paths” is a Young Adult novel; however, because of some mature subject matter, it might be more adult than young. It’s a “coming of age” story set in Fort Worth, Texas during the summer of 1979.  Below you will find a brief description of the book and a short author bio.
 
We cannot choose our childhood, but what can we choose? Jacki, Mike, and Curt have remarkably different home lives despite growing up in the same neighborhood in Fort Worth, Texas. It is the summer of 1979: a simpler time before every family had a home computer, every teenager had a cell phone, and everyone’s heritage could be traced with a drop of saliva. Through turmoil and unlikely friendships, the three teens find themselves faced with one life-changing decision: Should they follow the same path as their parents or forge their own paths? Follow Jacki, Mike, and Curt down the path of life to see if they walk in the footsteps of others, or blaze a new trail. Will the choices they make change their lives for the better?
 
At the age of four, Sandee Westmoreland walked four blocks with her brothers and sister to a magical place: the city library. Even at such a young age, she began to dream of writing a book and seeing it on the library shelf. Followed Paths, her first novel, is an inspirational story for teens and young adults who are about to embark on their own journey down life’s path.
For over 20 years, Ms. Westmoreland has taught in small rural schools in Southern Oklahoma and served as a school Library/Media Specialist. She is the mother of two daughters, two sons-in-law, and a grandmother of three. She is also a “pom mom” to two adorable Pomeranians.
