Story by Amy L. Bernstein

Publisher’s Synopsis: Fran Singer is a regular 8th grader relishing her role in the school play, enjoying hanging out with her best friend and thinking of ways to steer clear of her annoying little brother. . . when suddenly, in a matter of seconds, everything changes. A tragic accident with major consequences shoots her out of her ordinary world into one racked with guilt, shame, and complete alienation. Starting over after all that isn’t easy. . . but is it possible? Will her life be better, the second time around?
A suspenseful story full of teen obstacles that provide humor, compassion, and despair. This page turning story is relevant and paints a clear picture of how unexpected events can lead to an appreciation for friends and family.

I highly recommend this book to anyone, young adult or older, who has dealt with heartache, devastating loss, guilt, or grief.
