Eight years ago, tragedy struck. Eight years ago, Lucy Michaels's life
changed forever. But under the surface of her small town lies a secret
that could pull her under.
No one expected it to rain that much. But the rain kept coming, the dam
broke, and lives were lost. Including five-year-old Clay Michaels, who
was swept away in the floodwaters. Clay's sister, Lucy, has never
forgiven herself for her little brother's death. She was supposed to
hold on to him, to keep him from harm during that terrible night. She
was supposed to protect him.
Now eight years later, seventeen-year-old Lucy is focused on two things:
making the US Olympic air rifle team and protecting everyone in her life
from any type of trauma. However, with graduation and the Olympics on
the horizon, her world is once again shaken when tragedy strikes Grand
Junction, and once more, Lucy is right in the middle of it.
Two of her closest friends have been hunted down in the nature preserve
adjoining the town--the same plot of land where her younger brother
died--and the fingers of suspicion are pointing everywhere in the
community. The prime suspect? Lucy's ex-boyfriend. The more Lucy
uncovers about the secrets of those around her, the more she realizes
that she, too, is a target--and that now is the time to face her past if
she wants to have a future.
Last Girl Breathing is a page-turning hunt for the truth as
Court Stevens once again creates nonstop suspense with characters who
will break your heart.
