The beautiful struggle of a girl desperate for the one
relationship that has caused her the most pain Cassie O'Malley has spent the past two and a half years in a
mental institution—dumped there by her mother, against her
will. Now, at 18, Cassie emancipates herself, determined to
start over. She attends college, forms new friendships, and
even attempts to start fresh with her mother. But before
long, their unhealthy relationship threatens to pull Cassie
under once again. As Cassie struggles to reclaim her life,
childhood memories persist and confuse, and Cassie must
consider whose version of history is real, and more
important, whose life she must save. A bold, literary story about the fragile complexities of
mothers and daughters and learning to love oneself, The
First Time She Drowned reminds us that we must dive deep
into our pasts if we are ever to move forward.
