Description

In the aftermath of a life-altering event, a young girl is pulled into a world of hard choices, fierce loyalty, and the slow, painful work of rebuilding herself. As she navigates shifting relationships and the demands of survival, she discovers that strength isn’t just something you’re born with—it’s something you forge, often in the face of fear and loss. Blending emotional realism with a resilient coming-of-age arc, the story explores themes of identity, trauma, community, and the courage it takes to begin again. Laurie Halse Anderson’s distinctive, lyrical voice brings urgency and intimacy to every moment, making this a powerful read about endurance, agency, and hope.
