Tiffany Sly Lives Here Now - by Dana L Davis (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

For sixteen-year-old Tiffany Sly, life hasn't been normal for a while. She lost her mom to cancer, and now she has to leave her hometown to live with the father she's never met. Anthony Stone is a rich man with four other daughters--and rules for every second of the day. Tiffany doesn't fit into her new luxurious but super-strict home--or get along with her standoffish sister London.

But Tiffany has a secret. Another man claims he's Tiffany's real dad--and she has only seven days before he shows up to demand a paternity test. With her life about to fall apart all over again, Tiffany finds herself discovering unexpected truths about her father, her mother and herself, and realizing that, maybe, family is in the bonds you make--and that life means sometimes taking risks.
