Description:
Is there a
way to describe the ties that bind us together? What happens when one of those ties is unexpectedly severed? Can everything else remain the same? Will the other ties hold strong?
Two years after her little brother's death, sixteen year old Emerson Caulfield returns to a home that she spent the last two years missing. In theory, everything should be the same. Her best friend, Matt, still lives next door. Her house is in the exact same condition as they left it. The scenery and hallways haven't changed, yet for Emerson, everything is completely different. The place may be the same, but Emerson is most certainly not. She returns home hurt, angry, and miles away from the girl she once was.
The 60,000 word novel alternates between the perspectives of Emerson, who is struggling to keep breathing on a daily basis, and Matt, who wants to have his old best friend back so badly that he is willing to overlook the fact that she has completely changed. Though their friendship and relationship is a major part of the story, it takes backseat to the unique bonds between siblings, what happens when your worst enemy is in fact yourself, and the hardships that come with growing up and changing.
About the Author
I'm not
really going to write a biography. Though I am supportive of the high schools
and colleges I have attended, it's probably not actually the most interesting
stuff about me. I'm going to do a list of five really random things instead for
now.
1) I like making lists. It's weird, and I never actually scratch things off of the list.
2) I sing and dance in the car like a maniac.

3) For the
first six years of my life, I truly believed a shark lived under my bed. I
watched Jaws at too young of an age.
4) Without
a doubt, I am a night person. I am enormously grumpy when first woken up in the
morning.
5) When I
was younger, I read almost every Nancy Drew book, both new and old. I had a
notebook, and I would take notes to see if I could figure out who the "bad
guy" was before Nancy did. We probably tied.
