Synopses

Girl in Pieces

Charlie Davis is seventeen and has already lost more than most people lose in a lifetime. She has learned to forget through cutting, using pain to wash out sorrow until there is only calm.

After being kicked out of a special treatment centre when her insurance runs out, she finds herself in Tucson, Arizona, where she begins the long journey of putting herself back together.

How to Make Friends with the Dark

It has always been Tiger and her mother against the world. Then, on a day like any other, Tiger’s mother dies, leaving Tiger alone.

She must learn to make friends with the dark.

You’d Be Home Now

Emmy has spent her life being told exactly who she is: the quiet one, the obedient one and the reliable one. She is not strong-willed like her sister Maddie and not in rehab like her brother Joey.

When a tragic accident changes life in her small town forever, Emmy must face whether she can keep up the act.
