Holly's summer holiday before starting high school stinks. Her dad breaks a precious summer vacation promise and is stepping up plans to get remarried. Her mother has started dating again, her bizarre little brother is acting out, and she has no friends. Worst of all, Holly is fat. Or so she thinks. Macaroni Monday chronicles the frenzied journey of a fourteen-year-old girl's desperation to harness the one thing in her life she has control over: what goes into, and out of, her mouth. As Holly drifts deeper each day into the secretive world of bulimia, she eventually puts her health in serious jeopardy without anyone at all barely noticing, least of all her divorced parents. Finally Holly finds a confidant in an unlikely friend. Mrs. Sinclair lives next door and is in her seventies. As she shares her own experiences as a child evacuee out of London during the Second World War, she helps Holly to reclaim her life in the most curious war possible: the war with oneself.

Fifteen-year-old Erin Angelica Delessandri is a typical high school cheerleader except for one thing: in addition to the normal pressures of being a teenager, she is a child living in an alcoholic family. At home, she's the target of her father's alcoholic rage and is always on edge, never knowing when the yelling will start. Her father's harsh treatment also leads Erin to harbor the vague notion that she's "irresponsible" and "worthless". At school Erin gets caught up in the party scene with a crew called "The Pack". She becomes romantically involved with an older Pack member named Dwane. After Dwane is accused of a gang-related murder, Erin's brother Joey, who is also a member of The Pack, forbids Erin from seeing Dwane. But the evidence suggests that it's Joey, not Dwane, who pulled the trigger. While the drama unfolds at school, Erin's family disintegrates before her eyes. Her mom, upset at the prospect of a failed marriage, becomes depressed and withdrawn. And Erin's little sisters share a secret-a killer secret that must be exposed and dealt with before someone dies.

After our nation slogged its way through the Great Depression came an era identified with bobby sox, charm bracelets, crooners and front windows proudly displaying service flags. The citizens of King’s Mills gave their patriotic all to the war effort while they prayed for peace. Hope Royer had been a surprise to her almost middle-aged parents who were barely surviving the depression, but she was nevertheless happily welcomed by them and her older siblings. World War II called Hope’s adored brother Ted from the Senior Class. By the time she was almost into her teens and had become a graceful and slender beauty, David Bonner entered her life and the pair became inseparable. When the two of them weren’t playing croquet, they shared Cokes at the local drugstore or sang songs they had learned at their summer camps and kept Hope’s porch swing creaking through heavenly summer evenings. As Hope neared her 13th birthday, her bliss was shattered by major blows: David’s father was transferred out of state and the death of the Royers’ beloved landlady forced the sale of the only home Hope had ever known. Could she find a way to cope and go on?
