The Summer Everything Changed Author: Ellen Roteman

It’s great to be positive. But there’s real danger in pretending, when you know in your heart that everything is not okay.

Yael Kaplan can’t wait to babysit the lively Friedman kids — how else will she afford to pay for seminary in Israel next year? With her super-fun games and original activities, straight from her homemade babysitter’s handbook, the summer will be a huge success.

But Yael makes a dark discovery that puts her grand plans on hold. Should she keep her concerns to herself, or share them? Ellen Roteman, best-selling author of Production!, tells a compelling story about indecision and growth. Join Yael as she struggles for clarity during a summer when nothing stays the same.
