Synopsis
This stunning and PEN Award–winning novel of triumph over trauma is a “page-turner for Ellen Hopkins fans” (Kirkus Reviews).
In one moment
it is over.
In one moment
it is gone.
Twelve-year-old Hope’s life is turned upside down when her older sister, Lizzie, becomes an elective mute and is institutionalized after trying to kill herself. Hope and Lizzie have relied on each other from a young age, ever since their dad died. Their mother, who turns tricks to support her family, is a reluctant and unreliable parent—at best. During the course of this lyrical and heartbreaking narrative, told in blank verse from an exceptionally promising YA voice, readers will discover the chilling reason why Lizzie has stopped speaking—and why Hope is the only one who can bring the truth to light and save her sister.

1.
In one moment
it is over.
In one moment
it is gone.
The morning grows
thin, gray
and our lives—
how they were—
have vanished.
Our lives have
changed
when I walk
in on Lizzie
my sister
holding a shotgun.
She fingers the
trigger.
Looks up.
My sister.
My sister just looks
up at me.
Touching
the trigger
of that gun.
© 2010 Carol Lynch Williams
