Synopsis

If you had the power to change the future ... would you?

Lacey Joy White considers herself unremarkable in every way: she worries over choosing the right clothes, tries to maintain a D in chemistry, and spends nights creeping on her crush on Facebook. And she can alter the future.

Opting instead to let life float dully past, Lacey’s safe world is turned upside down when she learns of the Fate Changing Regime — and meets the enigmatic Christian Angel. Learning to use her powers for the first time and trying to fight her growing feelings for Christian, Lacey finds herself grappling with life or death issues. When one of the Regime turns traitor for a fanatical group bent on eliminating the Fate Changers, can Lacey finally accept the lot thrust upon her?

A gripping young adult fantasy, The Girl Who Could Change Fate is a story of friendship, love, and finding the strength to become your true self.

Teaser: Excerpt

     “How did you guys know we were here?” asked Christian quietly.
     Dawson dispelled his gaze from his dead friend. “Some drunken buddies of mine told me they couldn’t believe part of the party was making fireworks out of my barn. I came to check out what they meant when I ran into Brandon and Courtney. They called the police and the Regime right away.”
     I gaped at him. Party? What party? And then it jolted me—Dawson’s Halloween shindig, where normal people were getting sloshed and making out with friends and not getting killed. Had that all really been a mere half an hour or so ago?
     I knelt down and cradled my face in my hands. Trinity stooped to rub my back. But her motherly caressing couldn’t stop the silently spreading need inside of me…I wasn’t normal, no—not like Emily Boyle and her Creepe cronies and all those others. I had my gift, the one which I couldn’t help but seek to use…And did Christian undergo any of this when he exploited his Memory Shifting?
     I glanced up at him, hoping to recognize any sign that he had enjoyed manipulating his power, savoring that untamed triumph, in that moment where he had control like no one else did. But he just stood there, defeated, shaking his head absently.
