Holly and Lizzie are sisters. Only a year separates them and they have always been best friends. They take care of each other.
One morning Hope finds Lizzie with a gun pointed at her head. Lizzie is taken to the hospital. Hope must deal with her sister’s attempted suicide and uncover the terrible secrets that made her sister wanted to take her own life. Set in the rural South the girls isolation that is a reality for many rural children and their mother’s chosen profession makes the girls bond stronger and the story more powerful.
A gripping and heart-wrenching book written in verse. I couldn’t put this book down. Carol Lynch Williams amazed me with The Chosen One and her fans will be equally amazed with this book. Fans of Ellen Hopkins’ books will also love this book.
