Book Description
A remarkable story of strange beauty and self-discovery from Printz Award winner Nick Lake. Cassie is writing a letter to the boy whose heart she broke. She's trying to explain why. Why she pushed him away. Why her father got so angry when he saw them together. Why she disappears some nights. Why she won't let herself remember what happened that long-ago night on the boardwalk. Why she fell apart so completely. Desperate for his forgiveness, she's telling the whole story of the summer she nearly lost herself. She's hoping that love-love for your family, love for that person who makes your heart beat faster, and love for yourself-can save both of them after all.

In this Amazon Charts and Washington Post bestseller, a devastating secret is revealed, and a family must finally come to terms with the past. Single mother Maisey Addington has always fallen short of her own mother's expectations--never married, a bit adrift, wasting her high IQ on dead-end jobs. The only thing Maisey's sure she's gotten right is her relationship with her twelve-year-old daughter, Elle...until a phone call blows apart the precarious balance of their lives. Maisey's mother is in a coma, and her aging father faces charges of abuse and neglect. Back at her childhood home, Maisey must make a heartrending life-or-death decision. Her confused father has destroyed family records, including her mother's final wishes. Searching for answers, Maisey uncovers one unspeakable secret after another when she stumbles upon a shattering truth: a twin sister named Marley. Maisey's obsession with solving the mystery of her sister forces her to examine her darkest memories and triggers a custody battle with Elle's father. Will Maisey's love for her daughter be strong enough to break a cycle of abuse and create a new beginning for them all?

Book Description
"There's nothing worse in this world than to be unwanted and unloved by one's parents except to be scourged, humiliated and hurled into a darkness damning our years from the very beginning. I mean, even Frankenstein yearned for the kindness and acceptance of his maker, at least in the tale I've been told. I suppose if I had to liken myself to any infamous character, it would be precisely that pitiful tormented creature strewn together out of madness given to breathe life a hideously doomed disappointment; shunned and abused by his creator."Born into a brood of depraved children wherein darkness and despair is the one certainty in a life without sunshine, young Mary abides to her childish faith in God to steal her away from evil abuses of her insane father and sadistic mother.
