Notes
Description
After committing suicide just before high school graduation, Ellie Walker haunts her home and school, reflecting on her life of domestic violence, friendship with August, and dreams of a writing career. Includes list of resources for people in crisis.
Description
The day after Ellie dies by suicide, she finds herself in the midst of an out-of-body experience. She sways between past and present, retracing the events that unfolded prior to her death. There's her mother, a songbird who wanted to break free from her oppressive cage. August, the boy who brought color into a gray world. Her brooding father, with his sad puppy eyes and clenched fists. But there are gaps in her memory, fractured pieces Ellie is desperate to re-assemble. -- adapted from jacket
