Hadley protects her little sister, pities her alcoholic mother, and detests her abusive father. She hides her emotional and physical bruises from concerned friends, teachers, and other adults because she assumes that the words of her powerful, wealthy father will be believed over hers. That is, until Hadley survives a plane c0062495739rash that kills both of her parents. Placed in a psychiatric ward post-crash after a failed suicide attempt, Hadley is overcome by grief and ignores letters from her family, her friends, and her boyfriend Charlie. Can Hadley survive the torrent of guilt she feels when she thinks of the accident? Will Hadley take her counselor’s advice, move on, and realize that “having thoughts of anger, of vengeance, is not a crime”? (Georgia Peach Book Award, 2020)
