Stealing Heaven by Elizabeth Scott

Stealing Heaven by Elizabeth Scott is a YA book about an 18-year-old girl named Dani. Dani lives with her mom, a professional thief, and has never known any other kind of life. Dani and her mom arrive in a seaside community named Heaven - while helping her mom case the town, Dani discovers friendship and romance for the first time in her life. Usually that kind of plot set-up is the makings of a sapfest, but that isn't the case here - Stealing Heaven is an interesting tale that avoids a Hollywood-esque type of happy ending. Ms. Scott has created an interesting protagonist in Dani and a thought-provoking story about the choices that people make in life.
