Description

A deeply affecting new novel by the award-winning author of Flip!      When a family holiday ends in the tragic death of their young son, the grieving parents struggle to cope, and Shiv, their fifteen-year-old daughter, must come to terms with what happened . . . and her part in it. Off the rails and tormented by guilt, she is sent away to an exclusive clinic that claims to “cure” people like her.     But this is no ordinary psychiatric institution, and Shiv discovers that her release–from her demons, and from the clinic itself–will come at a bizarre and terrible price.
