Memory, shifting realities, and the search for belonging

Seventeen-year-old Grace Meyer has the popularity, relationship, and money she seems to want, while pressure from her mother weighs on her future. Then she wakes in a rundown cabin in the forest, unable to remember what went wrong. The story moves between ordinary reality and a more fantastical existence that feels more comfortable to Grace, making her uncertain about what her life really is. Her effort to recover a sense of direction brings together questions of memory, family control, responsibility, and belonging. The book’s young-adult metaphysical premise centers on Grace’s inner search as she tries to understand where she belongs—and whether the way back is also a way forward.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in metaphysical or visionary fiction.
  • Readers drawn to stories about memory, identity, and finding a place to belong.
  • Those interested in family pressure and a young person’s search for independence.

Book overview

A deserted cabin... a mysterious stranger... a fading memory... a girl alone... Time keeps shifting, but will Grace be enough to save herself?

 

"There had been some kind of accident, Grace thought suddenly. She didn't know how she knew that, but she did. She didn't want to think about it. She didn't want to think about anything. Because there was a part of her, way down deep, that knew everything had been her fault."

Grace Meyer is a normal seventeen-year-old high school student who has mostly everything she ever wanted- popular friends, an awesome boyfriend and plenty of money. Everything every girl wants at that age. She also has an overbearing mother who's trying to plan her future and control her life.

 

When she finds herself in the forest, in a rundown cabin owned by a woman named Lucy who claims to be her mother's sister, Grace knows something has gone terribly wrong in her life. The problem is, she can't remember what that is. Traveling back and forth between a world of reality and an existence that feels slightly fantastical but infinitely more comfortable, Grace realizes that maybe her existence isn't really what it seems, and it's going to take a lot of soul-searching to find her way back-or forward-to where she truly belongs.
