Charlotte Davis is in pieces. At 17 she's already lost more than most people do in a lifetime. But she's learned how to forget. The broken glass washes away the sorrow until there is nothing but calm. You don't have to think about your father and the river. Your best friend, who is gone forever. Or your mother, who has nothing left to give you. Every new scar hardens Charlie's heart just a little more, yet it still hurts so much. It hurts enough to not care anymore, which is sometimes what has to happen before you can find your way back from the edge.

Fifteen-year-old Kendra hasn't felt safe since she began to recall devastating memories of childhood sexual abuse, especially because she still can't remember the most important detail: her abuser's identity. Frightened, Kendra believes someone is always watching and following her, leaving menacing messages only she understands. If she lets her guard down even for a minute, it could cost Kendra her life. To relieve the pressure, Kendra cuts; aside from her brilliantly expressive artwork, it's her only way of coping.

Seventeen-year-old Elena is vanishing. Every day means renewed determination, so every day means fewer calories. This is the story of a girl whose armor against anxiety becomes artillery against herself as she battles on both sides of a lose-lose war in a struggle with anorexia.

Fifteen-year-old Callie isn't speaking to anybody, not even her therapist at Sea Pines, the "residential treatment facility" where her parents and doctor sent her after discovering that she cuts herself. As her story unfolds, Callie reluctantly becomes involved with the "guests" at Sea Pines: other young women struggling with problems of their own.

Publisher's Summary

Seven months ago, on a rainy March night, 16-year- old Willow's parents died in a horrible car accident. Willow was driving. Now her older brother barely speaks to her, her new classmates know her as the killer orphan girl, and Willow is blocking the pain by secretly cutting herself. But when one boy - one sensitive, soulful boy - discovers Willow's secret, it sparks an intense relationship that turns the "safe" world Willow has created for herself upside down.

Told in an extraordinary fresh voice, Willow is an unforgettable novel about one girl's struggle to cope with tragedy, and one boy's refusal to give up on her.

Critic Reviews

"Willow's acknowledgment of the cause of her grief--that she'll never be anyone's daughter again--is a sharp insight, and Hoban's appropriately complex portrayal of cutting makes this a good choice on a crucial subject." ( Kirkus Reviews)

Great story .. Bad narration

Well as a story I really liked the world of Willow and I found myself drawn into it , except for the fact that the narrator was soo annoying I couldn't listen to her for more than an hour until I decided to read the book instead .. but it is a story worth reading anyhow

sad, but some how breath takingly courageous

you definitely have to be in a positive mind set. no weakness about you before digging into this one. fairytale? oh no too real for that. but the most realistic listen in a long time!

I enjoyed it -- However...

First, let me say that this author sees nothing wrong with teen sex as long as the participants "love" each other and are careful. I for one, find that a very disturbing attitude for one who is writing books that may popular in that age group. She also swears -- not a lot, but a little of that type of language is too much for many of us.

I will admit that I enjoyed the book but I probably would have avoided it had I known about the sex and language even though the sex was far from explicit and was portrayed somewhat conservatively, and the foul language was not used a lot.

Guy entered Willow's life at a time when she needed someone desperately. He was sensitive, caring, and self-sacrificing and Willow recognized and appreciated his good qualities.

But as far as portraying the miracles of redemption through love, this book is not in the same league as "Redeeming Love" by Francine Rivers. That book may well be the best book I have ever read (listened to actually), period -- and some of Francine's other books are almost as good.
