Opis

Seven-year-old Anna will not understand what is about to happen. What will be scorched into her memory on this fateful day will be unthinkable. Happy-go-lucky Anna adores her older sister. Together, they climb trees, fly kites, and swing on their back yard swing set. In a moment, Anna will begin an agonizing journey, traumatized and alone that will last nearly ten years. Now seventeen, Anna's downward spiral has been easy to hide. She's the ninth child of ten, and distress is overlooked in the constant clamor of growing up in a huge family. But something is different this time around. As the tenth anniversary of that fateful day approaches, everyday simplicities, like showering and eating, become increasingly difficult. Anna feels the end is nearing-or is it the beginning of something far worse?
