A young girl's world spirals into darkness and despair after a tragic accident claims the lives of her parents in this emotionally charged young adult novel.

“Lush and intense, tortured and romantic, this is a compelling story with some irresistible elements.”—BCCB

“A credible depiction of a grieving girl’s struggle toward self-forgiveness.”—Publishers Weekly

Seven months ago on a rainy March night, Willow’s parents drank too much at dinner and asked her to drive them home. But they never made it—Willow lost control of the car, and both of her parents were killed. Now the only way she knows how to survive and control the pain is by secretly cutting herself. But when Willow meets Guy, a boy as sensitive and complicated as she is, she finds it hard to keep the secret that’s written all over her body.
