Present
"With soaring, lyrical prose and a deep understanding of human
strength and frailty, Jacquelyn Mitchard aims her unflinching
narrative gaze at the mysteries of death, life, love, and loss.
Finding beauty in even the darkest of tragedies, her writing will
make you hurt--but it will also make you hope."
--Robin Wasserman, author of The Waking Dark "This fast-paced story
has a lot of aspects to appeal to a wide range of teen readers,

relationships, and serial killers. Set in a small Minnesota town on
the shore of Lake Superior, the setting plays a big role in the
plot."
