>Lauded by critics and authors for her heartbreakingly
real heroines, Laura Wiess brings readers another
devastating tale of betrayal and redemption rich with the
raw emotion that made Such a Pretty Girl a
classic. How can you make someone love you
when they won’t? And what if that person
happens to be your mother? Sayre Bellavia grew up
knowing she was a mistake: unplanned and unwanted. At five
months shy of eighteen, she’s become an expert in
loneliness, heartache, and neglect. Her whole life she’s
been cursed, used, and left behind. Swallowed a thousand
tears and ignored a thousand deliberate cruelties. Sayre’s
stuck by her mother through hell, tried to help her, be near
her, be important to her even as her mother slipped
away into a violent haze of addiction, destroying the only
chance Sayre ever had for a real family. Now her
mother is lying in a hospital bed, near death, ravaged by
her own destructive behavior. And as Sayre fights her way to
her mother’s bedside, she is terrified but determined to get
the answer to a question no one should ever have to ask:
Did my mother ever really love me? And what will
Sayre do if the answer is yes?
