A tragic car wreck leads to PTSD and therapeutic salvation in this
novel from the author of America, which Kirkus Reviews deemed "a
work of sublime humanity."
Anna is involved in a horrific accident one night that leaves her
brother's beautiful and popular girlfriend dead. Suffering from
post-traumatic stress disorder, she begins an unusual method of therapy
called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). Through her
therapy, dreams, memories, and experiences, we begin to see, along with
Anna, the full picture of her controlling father, her lost relationship
with her brother, and her overwhelming guilt about the wreck.
With a deep understanding of the minds of teenagers, and a deft hand in
translating that to the page, E.R. Frank presents a story with real and
challenging characters, beautifully told and filled with haunting
images.
