All Rivers Flow to the Sea - Softcover

"McGhee writes confidently as one who remembers the ordinariness of adolescence as well as its angst . . . and compellingly creates a protagonist blindsided by loss." PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review) For seventeen-year-old Rose, it keeps happening the car crash. The car crash that put her sister, Ivy, in a coma with only a respirator keeping her alive. While Rose tries to find support from her reticent mother, distraction from the series of boys she meets at the town s gorge at night, and empathy from her neighbor William T., what she really needs must come from within herself a release of what s been welling up inside. Heartrending, honest, and ultimately hopeful, this is the tale of a teenager overwhelmed by trauma and loss, yet steadied by loyal friendship and the solace of first love."
