The Saving of Stevie Sparrow
Work in Progress

When Stephanie Sparrow was nine, her father disappeared without a trace, leaving her to shoulder the weight of her mother’s emotional needs. Now seventeen, Steph’s life is consumed by caring for a mother who’s slipping further into herself while her estranged sister, Lennox, rarely visits—and never for long. Worse, Lennox remains in close contact with the father who abandoned Steph, fueling a deep sense of betrayal she can’t shake.
​
Steph’s friends take advantage of her quiet selflessness, leaving her feeling unseen and unimportant. When her mother impulsively decides to uproot their lives and move to the city, Steph is caught in a battle between loyalty and her desperate longing for something more.
In the city, Steph reinvents herself as "Stevie"—a new name for a new life. For the first time in years, she feels the spark of possibility. But just as things begin to look up, Stevie is faced with an impossible choice. Will she continue to sacrifice everything for the people who refuse to change, or will Stevie Sparrow finally learn to save herself?
A powerful story of family, reinvention, and the courage it takes to let go of the past in order to find yourself.
