Description
In the tradition of Speak, this extraordinary debut novel "is a poignant book that realistically looks at the lasting effects of trauma on love, relationships, and life" (School Library Journal, starred review).
Eden was always good at being good. Starting high school didn't change who she was, but the night her brother's best friend rapes her, Eden's world capsizes.
What was once simple is now complex. What Eden once loved, who she once loved...she now hates. Nothing makes sense anymore, and she knows she's supposed to tell someone what happened but she can't.
Told in four parts: freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior year, this provocative debut reveals the deep cuts of trauma. It also demonstrates one young woman's strength as she navigates the unbearable pains of adolescence while learning to embrace the power of survival.
