Her corporate lawyer dad is cold and distant. Phaedra's boyfriend dumped her after she fended off his latest round of heavy breathing and sweaty palms. It's all standard teenager stuff and, normally, she could deal with it. But, Phaedra's defenses are at an all-time low after the recent death of her mom.Things start to brighten up when Tim Foley crashes into her life. He's gorgeous and sensitive and muscular. He's also on work release from the nearby juvenile detention center. Phaedra is drawn to Tim in a way she's never felt before--but he's not the kind of guy her father wants around. The question is, will her dad be able to keep them apart?Doreen Owens Malek's classic young adult novel GYPSY AUTUMN is back in print and updated to show how tough life as a teenage girl can be when love is involved and things have real, adult consequences.

When I was in middle school, Gypsy Autumn was one of my favorite books. I checked it out from the library again and again. It is the story of young love between a girl and a boy from the "wrong side of the tracks." Her father does not approve of the relationship, which only makes their love stronger. I have been searching for this wonderful out-of-print book for ages. I now teach middle school, and I would love to share it with my students. If you ever come across a copy, grab it, and share it with every teenager you know who has a romantic heart--they will not be disappointed.
