Description

"After fourteen-year-old Eden is raped by her brother's best friend, she knows she'll never be the way she used to be"--

Starting high school didn't change who Eden was. But the night her brother's best friend rapes her, Eden's world capsizes. What Eden once loved-- who she once loved-- she now hates. Nothing makes sense anymore, and she knows she's supposed to tell someone what happened but she buries it instead. And she buries the way she used to be. As she navigates the disappointment and unbearable pains of adolescence and heartbreak, of friendships broken and rebuilt, Eden must learn to embrace a power of survival she never knew she had hidden within her heart.
