\n New York Times bestseller! In the tradition of Speak, Amber Smith’s extraordinary debut novel \u201cis a heart-twisting, but ultimately hopeful, exploration of how pain can lead to strength\u201d (The Boston Globe).<\/p>\n

Eden was always good at being good. Starting high school didn\u2019t change who she was. But the night her brother\u2019s best friend rapes her, Eden\u2019s world capsizes.<\/p>\n

What was once simple, is now complex. What Eden once loved\u2014who she once loved\u2014she now hates. What she thought she knew to be true, is now lies. Nothing makes sense anymore, and she knows she\u2019s supposed to tell someone what happened but she can\u2019t. So she buries it instead. And she buries the way she used to be.<\/p>\n

Told in four parts\u2014freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior year\u2014this provocative debut reveals the deep cuts of trauma. But it also demonstrates one young woman\u2019s strength as she navigates the disappointment and unbearable pains of adolescence, of first love and first heartbreak, of friendships broken and rebuilt, all while learning to embrace the power of survival she never knew she had hidden within her heart.
