    About this ebook

    ***This short story was part of Turning Pages: An Anthology Benefitting Lubbock Literacy. If you purchased the anthology, thank you! You already have this short story.***

    When life gives you lemons, make lemonade they say. The day before Margaret "Mags" Duncan's graduation turns out to be the biggest lemon she's ever known. Being accused of a murder she didn't commit and missing her own graduation ceremony were definitely not on her to-do list. But she meets an unlikely new friend who teaches her to make lemonade.
