(3) YA Fifteen-year-old Jenna is physically and emotionally damaged from the car accident that killed her mother. She's unsure of her memory, but thinks the accident may have been her fault. This uncertainty stalls her recovery until she meets Crow, a tough-looking older guy who helps her shed her fears and guilt. Jenna is a believable character whose pain is palpably drawn.
