Overview

It's been years since Nova last saw Sam. She was too young then to understand why he had to move away--and what it had to do with the cuts and bruises he got from home and never wanted to talk about. All she knew is that they promised to find each other when they were older, something she thought was impossible. Until she bumps into Sam in her new school and realizes he has forgotten their childhood promise. Sam has a plan for his life: accept his college football scholarship, date his girlfriend Abigail, and hide how much he wants to do something, anything other than The Plan(TM) his parents and coaches have set before him. It doesn't matter if he finds himself thinking about the new girl he met in the cafeteria, a girl who reminds him of a past that hurts to remember. When a school-wide personality test reveals Nova and Sam to be each others' top matches, they begin to remember why they were such close friends. As well as the myriad of reasons this new-yet-familiar thing between them will never, ever work out. In the Orbit of You is a story about the enduring and changing nature of friendship, the strange struggle between who you are and who you want to be, and finding your voice.

Author Information

ASHLEY SCHUMACHER is a young adult author with a degree in creative writing from the University of North Texas. She lives in a small town with her antisocial but lovable husband and more books than is strictly necessary. When she's not reading or writing, you can find her belting Disney or Broadway songs, protecting her snacks from her greedy golden retriever, hand embroidering, or playing Mario Kart. Amelia Unabridged is her first novel. She lives in Dallas, Texas. Formerly a collegiate Academic All-American baseball player, bilingual sales rep (Spanish), Federal Reserve intern, and Levi's Denim Fit model, Alex Mortensen brings world experience to each of his roles. Twenty-plus years of athletics taught him discipline and a strong Midwest work ethic. He still enjoys football, baseball, baking, language (Spanish-fluent, French and German-novice), golf, and learning. Lu Banks is no stranger to using her voice-first as a classically trained singer, sometimes as an historical interpreter, and always as a soother of children-and is thrilled to have made the transition from voracious audiobook listener to passionate audiobook narrator. As a narrator, Lu marries her life experiences as a mother, museum director, social services provider, and writer with a passion for bringing words to life with a voice that has been described as soothing, warm, and eminently comforting. When she's not locked in her tiny padded booth, Lu can be found outside in the forest, working tirelessly for social justice causes, cooking things she can't pronounce, and nurturing neighborhood kids and pets.
