My Friend, the Darkness

Tiger's life changed with a simple phone call. Her mother died. And then, her otherwise ordinary life was enveloped in darkness. Tiger's mother never spoke about her father, and without grandparents or uncles, her whole world fits into a suitcase with which she moves from one foster family to another. Until hope appears in the form of... a sister. Sometimes family takes forms you don't recognize. But can Tiger come to terms with the darkness before it swallows her whole?

Girl in Pieces

Charlotte Davis is in pieces. At seventeen, she has already lost more than most people lose in a lifetime. But she has learned to forget. The broken glass drives away the sadness and leaves behind only peace. You don't need to think about your father and the river. Your best friend, forever lost. Or your mother, who has nothing left to offer you. Each new scar hardens her heart a little more. And yet she still hurts, hurts a lot. Hurts so much that she doesn't care anymore; and sometimes that has to happen for you to find your way back. A deeply moving portrait of a girl living in a world that owes her nothing but has taken so much from her, and the description of her desperate attempt to recover. Kathleen Glasgow's debut is heartbreaking, fearless, and utterly honest. A story that won't let you let it go.
