Where the Light Breaks

Skylar won the coveted title of Most Beautiful Girl at her senior prom eight years ago. It wouldn't have been a big deal had it come from anyone other than Dylan Russo, the quarterback, track star, class president and prom king every guy wanted to be and every girl wanted to kiss. She probably would have forgotten all about it by now had her short-lived relationship with Dylan not produced the daughter he knows nothing about, but who suddenly wants to know him.

Jade just lost her best friend Coraline to anorexia nervosa. As she moves toward the Anger stage in the grieving process, she traces the origins of her friend's disease back to two people, one of whom is Dylan and that stupid contest that marked the start of a deadly downward spiral, and the other is Coraline's stepbrother, Andrew, who's far from being the funny, affable, stand-up guy everyone thinks he is.

Camryn hasn't thought about high school in ages. She's leading a quiet, happy life as a barista by day and an aspiring novelist by night. But when she learns that Coraline, a former classmate, has died, she finds herself consumed with troubling memories of the sad, beautiful girl, and the warm spring night that changed her life forever.

These women barely know each other, but they're about to learn the staggering reasons why the darkness of their pasts has brought them together.
