In this searing own-voices story, Allison Sweet Grant portrays a young woman's journey to confront the medical trauma inflicted to 'fix' her and heal her heart.
The story follows nineteen-year-old Elisabeth, who is hiding from her memories in a tiny cabin in Fish Creek, Wisconsin.
When a massive snowstorm forces her to accept help from her neighbor, Noah, the town's young sheriff, Elisabeth must face her childhood scars and the darkness that has haunted her.
The book is an emotional coming-of-age story about running away from oneself and finding a way back, deeply moving, authentically raw, and humming with the possibility of new love.
