"You were conceived under exceptional circumstances," 16-year-old Cassidy's father has just told her. Struggling to understand that she is the product of a "clean and businesslike arrangement," her biological father nothing more than an anonymous sperm donor, Cassidy is doubly devastated. Not only has her father just been diagnosed with a fatal disease, but he has also confessed that he's not really her father. Suddenly Cassidy's worries about how to hold on to her popular boyfriend while not having sex and her geeky interest in birds no longer seem important. Worse, she gets drunk and blurts out the news of her conception at a party and must face some shocking consequences. Like the turkey baster thrown through her front window. On top of it all, Cassidy realizes she may never know who she really is.
A young adult novel defined by its candour and humour, Finding Cassidy offers a fresh turn on the adolescent struggle to discover "Who am I?" Showing her gift for creating characters that are complex and real, Laura Langston has written a new novel that will resonate with teenage girls everywhere.
