After her parents divorce, Nikki moves in with her loving grandparents.  Three years later, her father remarries and takes her to live with him and his new wife, Sheila.   Believing it’s in Nikki’s best interest, her mother moves away;  Sheila makes it very clear that she has no intention of being her new mother.   Nikki longs for her father’s love, but Sheila sabotages every attempt to get close.   Feeling abandoned and betrayed, she dreams of something more – a world where love lasts forever.

Anthony enters her life on the first day of summer vacation.  She’s immediately taken by his good looks and charm, and when he offers her a ride home that night, she accepts with some apprehension.    Climbing into his 1956 Chevrolet, her heart is pounding and her senses are screaming, “Danger!”    She never lets down her guard, but fear gives way to curiosity, and she begins to wonder.    Could Anthony be the one person in her life who will not betray her – the one man who will love her and never leave her?   How long will it take her to know for sure?

Nikki is a pretty average teenage girl.  She has a few friends.  Goes to high school.   Loves to read.  Does well at school.    Sound like you?When Nikki’s father insists that she get a job over the summer, things start to change.  She’s introduced to people she would never have known otherwise.   She meets a young man who knocks her off her feet and when she falls, she falls hard.    She starts spending all of her free time with him and before long, she’s swept into a life that no one would have chosen for her.Saving Nikki is a story of how a young girl’s life is changed just by making less than ideal choices.    Instead of setting standards to follow, she gets caught up in having to constantly decide what she’s going to do.   Being caught up in the heat of the moment, it’s not always easy to make the right decision.

Reader  Comments:

 “Nikki reminds me of Novalee Nation – the main character in Where the Heart Is, by Billie Letts.   Nikki is a teenager trying to find her way in the giant scary world with two babies to care for with little – if any – emotional and financial support. These are the kind of characters you think about long after you’ve finished the novel.”

– Felicia Shultz, Duluth, MN

“The author captures the nuances of a girl coming into herself through truly challenging life situations, yet the reader stays close to Nikki like a best friend would.  You wish you could reach out and give her a hug sometimes, Nikki becomes that dear.”

- Quincy Magalei, Olalla, OR

“Joyce was really able to touch my heart with Nikki’s story.  It was an emotional journey back to my own past as I joined Nikki on hers.  As a mother and grandmother, it’s hard to imagine how Nikki was really left on her own = and without support from those who should have been there for her.”
