A New York Times bestseller.
But it also demonstrates one young woman\'s 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..
Told in four parts--freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior year--this provocative debut reveals the deep cuts of trauma.
And she buries the way she Used to be.
So she buries it instead.
Nothing makes sense anymore, and she knows she\'s supposed to tell someone what happened but she can\'t.
What she thought she knew to be true, is now lies.
What Eden once loved--who she once loved--she now hates.
What was once simple, is now complex.
But the night her brother\'s best friend rapes her, Eden\'s world capsizes.
Starting high school didn\'t change who she was.
Eden was always good at being good.
In the tradition of Speak, this extraordinary debut novel is a poignant book that realistically looks at the lasting effects of trauma on love, relationships, and life ( School Library Journal , starred review).
