Cora and Quinn used to be best friends. They did everything together. They are even next door neighbors. That all changed the day Quinn's older brother took a gun to school. When Cora's older sister died, so did her friendship with Quinn. Cora misses Quinn, but she has to be loyal to her sister.
Quinn has been grieving for the past year, too. Her parents never talk about what happened or how things got to that point, and they don't seem to understand that her life is ruined, too. She has to find a way to fix this.
On Cora's twelfth birthday, Quinn leaves a birthday gift on her doorstep. Quinn believes she's found a way to travel back in time and stop her brother, but she needs Cora's analytic mind to make it work. Is it really possible to go back in time to prevent this tragedy and fix everything that went wrong?
Jasmine Warga's follow up to Other Words for Home is an emotional and heartbreaking exploration of grief, friendship, forgiveness and the devastating effects of violence. Highly recommended.
