Mae McBride and Heidi Foster were the very best of friends.
Tied at the hip from early elementary school, their
relationship was the stuff of storybooks, legendary even, in
the minds of their high school classmates. Unshakable. That is, until Mae's father died while saving
Heidi s life. When Mae finds out, she blames Heidi. She
blames her father for putting Heidi ahead of her. She blames
her friends for taking Heidi s side. She begins to unravel
amid that blame and her uncontrollable and atypical anger. At the same time Heidi is beset by guilt, falls into
depression and stops eating properly; wasting away
physically and emotionally while waiting for Mae to let her
back into the friendship she misses so dearly. Mae, consumed by her hatred of Heidi, the confusion
regarding her father's motives, the perceived desertion of
her friends and her mother's grief, loses more and more of
herself. What could possibly bring these two old friends
back to each other? A miracle? Hating Heidi Foster, is a young adult novel about the place
of honor true friendships hold in our lives. It is about
suffering and loss and the ethics of grief. It is about a
deep and painful conflict, the bright light of selflessness
and sacrifice and the love that rights the ship and carries
us safely to port.
