Bookroo's summary
Julie faces a dilemma with her school project, "The Story of My Life," when she must reveal "The Worst Thing That Ever Happened." Her parents' divorce looms large, but she seeks an alternative story. After a disastrous basketball game, she thinks she's found it. Yet, as her family supports her, Julie begins to see them in a new light. Will she uncover a hopeful perspective amidst her struggles, or will the past continue to haunt her? Discover how Julie navigates her family's complexities and finds unexpected strength.
From the publisher
Julie is enjoying working on her school project, “The Story of My Life,” until she comes to the part about “The Worst Thing That Ever Happened.” That would be her parents’ divorce, and she doesn’t want to tell her class about that. Julie tries to find a different “Worst Thing” to tell about–and after her big basketball game ends badly, she thinks maybe she’s found the solution to her problem. But as her parents and sister rally around her, Julie finds herself thinking about her family in a new, and more hopeful, way.
