She feels stuck in her small town, trapped inside her own restless mind and unsure of what the future holds - if it holds anything at all for a girl like her. But life is about to change with the arrival of a stranger and a tragedy that upends everything Cora thought she knew about who she is and what she might be capable of.</p>...(*_*)9781399607926_<h3><strong>THE SCOTTISH BOOK OF THE SUMMER <em>HERALD</em></strong></h3><p>This isnt just a great first novel; its a great novel.
