Title: Punishment Summer
Author: Peggy Rothschild
Release Date: 9th October 2015
BLURB from Goodreads
Sixteen-year-old Nicki is sent to stay at her grandfather’s cabin near the town of Punishment in the Mendocino Forest. As always, she hides her burn scars and keeps quiet about the mother who ran out on her. But soon after arriving, she begins to suspect Grandpa is also keeping secrets. Her exile brings an unexpected bright spot: Grandpa’s German shepherd, Queenie. The hunky neighbor boy’s another plus, though she quickly starts to doubt his honesty.
From secret pot farms to human trafficking, Nicki discovers nothing in the ‘Mendo’ is what it seems. When Grandpa takes off and the lives of new friends are endangered, Nicki must decide how far she’s willing to go to protect those she cares about. Before summer ends, Nicki will learn there are some choices she can’t undo.
It’s a good thing Grandpa taught her how to shoot.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I'm an author, mystery-lover, friend of the feline, avid gardener and yoga enthusiast. Oh yeah -- and I'm a serious chocoholic!
I spent my wonder years in Los Angeles and my blunder years in Boston. While I don't miss the snow, Boston's a great place to live -- plus, I met my wonderful husband there.
I've been writing for years while working as a civil servant, first for the City of Redondo Beach then the City of Moorpark. At present, I live in the beautiful beach community of Ventura with my husband and our cats. In my spare time, I focus on transforming our yard into a drought-tolerant paradise, drawing, painting and creating collage pieces.
