Description

The story of one girl’s quest for clarity and forgiveness after an awful, universe-gone-mad-mistake. From the internationally bestselling author of Girl in Pieces

‘Breathtaking and heartbreaking, and I loved it with all my heart.’ Jennifer Niven

I thought I was done with death, at least a little bit, but death wasn’t done with me. 

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

And she must learn to make friends with the dark.

‘A rare and powerful novel…dives deep into the heart of grief and healing with honesty, empathy, and grace.’ Karen M. McManus

‘Magnificent. A beautiful, heartbreaking alleluia to survival.’ Brendan Kiely
