Beth Fehlbaum, YA fiction author

I'm feeling really good about ICING, my 4th book. Colby Denton's world is blown apart when she finds a photo of her father, the minister of one of the biggest churches in town, kissing a woman who is NOT his wife. Her mom, a teacher and former Miss Texas contestant, flees with Colby and her oh-so-perfect little sister, Drew. They find themselves living with her dad's sister, Leah, the black sheep of the family whose son, Ryan, is gay. Colby is forced to confront secrets she's kept about herself -- such as the binge eating disorder she's refused to acknowledge-- as well as whether the vitriol her father used to preach about homosexuals is really true.
