When Dylan Kowalski is asked to create a display for the school library, she has no idea that the project will lead to the rapid dissolution of life as she knows it. Her choice of one simple word threatens to reveal a secret that Dylan has been unable to admit even to herself.
Saskatoon based author Beth Goobie brings us this brilliant exploration of teen identity and sexuality. Goobie's authentic and exquisite prose will delight readers as they are drawn into the character-driven story. This intense, memorable novel is perfect for the mature teen reader.
