Description
A girl must face the consequences after her actions indirectly lead to her sister's disappearance in this haunting novel about sisterhood, tragedy, and the hole that's left behind when we lose a loved one.
Rhylee didn't mean to kiss her sister's boyfriend. At least, not the first time. But it doesn't matter, because her sister, Abby, caught them together, ran into the dark woods behind their house...and never came home.
As evidence mounts that something terrible has happened to Abby, no one wants to face the truth. Rhylee can't bring herself to admit what she's done: that she is the reason her sister ran away. Now Tommy, Abby's boyfriend, is the prime suspect in her disappearance, and Rhylee's world has been turned upside down. Slowly, Rhylee's family is breaking-their lives hinging on the hope that Abby will return. Rhylee knows they need to face the truth and begin healing-but how can they, when moving on feels like a betrayal? And how do you face the guilt of wishing a person gone...when they actually disappear?
About the Author
One of Rachele Alpine's first jobs was at a library, but it didn't last long, because all she did was hide in the third-floor stacks and read. Now she's a little more careful about when and where she indulges her reading habit. Rachele is a high school English teacher by day, a wife and mother by night, and a writer during any time she can find in between. She lives in Cleveland, Ohio, where she writes middle grade and young adult novels. Visit her at RacheleAlpine.com.
