About
Deeply moving, authentically angry, and compulsively romantic, an emotional coming-of-age story about a young woman running away from herself yet grasping to find a way back.
Fish Creek, Wisconsin-Beautiful. Quiet. Isolated. Anonymous. It's all that nineteen-year-old Elisabeth needs, and everything she wants. Cloistered in her tiny cabin, Elisabeth is determined to be alone, hiding from her memories and making sure that no one can ever hurt her again.
But when a massive snowstorm strikes, plunging the town into darkness, Elisabeth finally allows herself to accept help from her neighbor, Noah, the town's young sheriff. Forced to show him more vulnerability than she ever intended, Elisabeth realizes she can no longer outrun the scars of her childhood, and facing the darkness might be exactly what she needs to let the light in.
In a searing own-voices story accented by poignant flashbacks and stunning poetry, Allison Sweet Grant's young adult debut is a quietly powerful portrait of a young woman's journey to confront the medical trauma inflicted to "fix" her disability and heal her heart in the process. Allison Sweet Grant is a writer published in the New York Times and the Atlantic; she holds dual master's degrees from the University of Michigan. She lives in Philadelphia with her husband, #1 New York Times bestselling author Adam Grant, and their three children.
