Description
When a school shooting shatters her community, sixteen-year-old Valerie finds herself caught in an impossible position: her boyfriend was the shooter, and she must now navigate the treacherous landscape of returning to high school as both a victim and the perpetrator's girlfriend. Struggling with guilt, confusion, and the weight of public judgment, Valerie grapples with fundamental questions about her own complicity and innocence. As she attempts to rebuild her life and reclaim her place among her peers, she discovers that healing requires confronting uncomfortable truths about herself, her relationship, and the thin line between being a hero and a villain. Jennifer Brown's powerful debut explores the aftermath of tragedy through an unflinching lens, examining how trauma reshapes identity and the possibility of redemption in the face of unimaginable circumstances.
