Description: Turn is an exploration of perspective, taking the reader into the complex friendships of Olivia Nelson. An introspective person by nature, Olivia learns by trial and error to cultivate friendships and about their fragility and strength as tested by stupid mistakes and by the greater stressors of life. Her love affair with Max Edwards is pivotal, flowing over the course of a decade, both hitting obstacles and bursting with passion.

The story follows the choices and challenges that mold Olivia as she matures in Detroit in the 1980’s. Though the time and place are specific, Turn is a story of love that transcends them both. It reminds us of persistent issues, of promises kept and broken, of the importance of our choices, and of developing a sense of perspective that endures over the long haul.
