Synopsis
&“This is one for the ages.&” —Gayle Forman, author of the #1 bestseller If I Stay &“A book everyone should read right now.&” —The New York Times Book Review &“A vital and heartbreaking story that brings together the #MeToo movement, the effects of gun violence, and the struggle of building oneself up again after crisis.&” —Elle &“Equal parts heartbreaking and hopeful.&” —BookPage A Printz Honor Book Each step on Annabelle&’s 2,700 mile cross-country run brings her closer to facing a trauma from her past in National Book Award finalist Deb Caletti&’s novel about the heart, all the ways it breaks, and its journey to healing. Because sometimes against our will, against all odds, we go forward.Then… Annabelle&’s life wasn&’t perfect, but it was full—full of friends, family, love. And a boy…whose attention Annabelle found flattering and unsettling all at once. Until that attention intensified. Now… Annabelle is running. Running from the pain and the tragedy from the past year. With only Grandpa Ed and the journal she fills with words she can&’t speak out loud, Annabelle runs from Seattle to Washington, DC, and toward a destination she doesn&’t understand but is determined to reach. With every beat of her heart, every stride of her feet, Annabelle steps closer to healing—and the strength she discovers within herself to let love and hope back into her life. Annabelle&’s journey is the ultimate testament to the human heart, and how it goes on after being broken.
