Spiral
- (arabesque) an elegant skating move performed with extended arms and a leg raised above the hip
- (downward) the mind-swirling fall one gets caught up in when life throws a devastating curveball
My stomach fluttered as I accelerated out of the parking lot. I’m. In. Big. Trouble. My mother might disown me. I’d severed my tether to this place, and I already felt myself whirling, my life spiraling out of control. Not because I regretted my decision. Because I didn’t know what was next for me.
Madz Monroe, The Beauty of a Spiral
Meet my young-adult novel, The Beauty of a Spiral, the Publishers Weekly 2023 BookLife Prize YA/middle grade finalist. While the work of contemporary fiction covers difficult topics like illness and death, it highlights the important roles friendship, kindness, and family play in a young person’s life, especially during challenging times.
See my post about The Beauty of a Spiral for more details.
