Produktbeschreibung
Folks know 14-year-old Clare isn't normal, even for a tomboy. She runs too much, talks too little, carries a gun too often, and holds a grudge forever. Only her papa's job at the bank keeps gossip quiet. It's unwise to risk the cold anger of the man who knows everyone's secrets. Clare feels prepared for everything from fire, to flood, to what her momma calls demon attack. When her neighbor Esther kisses her, though, Clare has no ready script. Maybe she could write one, given time she doesn't have. At the moment of that first kiss, Esther's mom is bleeding out from a gunshot wound. Clare can read the signs everyone else is determined to ignore. A murder was only the beginning. Esther needs protection, whether she wants it or not, and Clare won't abandon her friend just because things are hard. Maybe one day she'll be forgiven for doing what's needed. This is an intense book with adult themes that some readers may find upsetting.
Autorenporträt
Chad Musick grew up in Utah, California, Washington, Texas, and (most of all) Alaska. He fell in love in California and then moved with his family to Japan, where he's found happiness. He earned a PhD in Mathematical Science in 2012 but loves art and science equally. Despite a tendency for electronic devices to burst into flame after Chad handles them, he persists in working in various technical and technology-related roles. Chad makes no secret of being epileptic, autistic, and arthritic, facts that inform how he approaches both science and the arts.
