(3) YA Leah Greene, Laine's best friend since fifth grade, molested and manipulated her for years until Laine broke off their friendship and Leah's self-destructive behaviors spiraled out of control. After Leah's death, Laine struggles to reconcile her memories and find forgiveness both for Leah and for herself. This first novel thought-provokingly explores issues of trust, culpability, and the chain of victimization.
