When fifteen-year-old Emily Greene wakes up to police banging on her door, she is shocked to see her mother arrested on drug charges.
Uprooted and in disbelief, Emily moves to a new town to stay with her grandmother, known as Crazy Carol for her outspoken faith and quirky behaviors. As if the arrest isn't enough, kids at her new school immediately begin to stereotype and judge her based on the news they've heard about her mom.
Emily is sure her mother's fiancé is to blame for the crime. He has conveniently disappeared since the day of the arrest. She's determined to find him, and prove he's at fault. But something awful happens, shaking her world yet again.
After this string of tragedies, Emily starts to question God, but is gently and consistently reminded by her grandmother, through stories she tells of all the sticks, leaves, and stones she collects, that God is her good and faithful parent.
Emily must learn that the words others say about her don't matter, that her mom's mistakes don't define her, and she is always deeply loved by her heavenly father. If only she can learn to forgive herself.
Dianne's debut young adult novel Sticks and Stones was inspired by her years of teaching, where she saw so many students struggle with varying issues, and also experienced how an understanding ear and relevant literature could make a significant impact on their lives. She hopes young people as well as adults can find faith and strength, like her main character Emily did, even when things seem to be falling apart.
Dianne is motivated daily by her faith in God, her husband, and her four adult children. When she's not writing or teaching, she can be found reading, sipping coffee, browsing a bookstore, or pursuing a part-time faith and fitness ministry.
