Glimpse by Carol Lynch Williams, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

This stunning and PEN Award–winning novel of triumph over trauma is a “page-turner for Ellen Hopkins fans" (Kirkus Reviews).In one momentit is over. In one momentit is gone. Twelve-year-old Hope’s life is turned upside down when her older sister, Lizzie, becomes an elective mute and is institutionalized after trying to kill herself. Hope and Lizzie have relied on each other from a young age, ever since their dad died. Their mother, who turns tricks to support her family, is a reluctant and unreliable parent—at best. During the course of this lyrical and heartbreaking narrative, told in blank verse from an exceptionally promising YA voice, readers will discover the chilling reason why Lizzie has stopped speaking—and why Hope is the only one who can bring the truth to light and save her sister. | Glimpse by Carol Lynch Williams, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
