Fade Into the Bright (4.27.21)“This story is entertaining and effortless, while also shining an important light on a rarely understood disease. To follow Abby’s journey after her life unravels as she tries to find her new normal, makes for an incredibly deep and captivating story that everyone will enjoy.”–actor Scott Porter (Ginny & Georgia, Lucifer, Friday Night Lights, Hart of Dixie)
“Coming from an HD family myself, I was amazed at how beautifully and accurately this book captures the painful and often lonely experience of learning that Huntington’s Disease is carried in your genes. This book is a must-read for anyone that’s ever experienced that “pit of doom” in their stomach while navigating life’s cruel curve balls. I couldn’t put it down once I started it!”–actress Kate Miner (Shameless) Abby needs to escape a life that she no longer recognizes as her own. Her old life--the one where she was a high school volleyball star with a textbook-perfect future--has been ripped away. Abby and her sister, Brooke, have received a letter from their estranged dad informing them he has Huntington's disease, a fatal, degenerative disorder that you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy. And when the sisters agree to genetic testing, one of them tests positive.
Fleeing to Catalina Island for the summer, Abby is relieved to be in a place where no one knows her tragic history. But when she meets aspiring documentary filmmaker Ben--tall, outdoorsy, easygoing, with eyes that don't miss a thing--she's thrown off her game. Ben's the kind of guy who loves to figure out people's stories. What if he learns hers? The Lost Causes"A well executed, fast-paced mystery..." Kirkus Review
"A compelling page-turner with well-developed characters many readers will see bits of themselves in." Booklist They’re the last people you’d ask to help with anything, much less a murder investigation. The rich girl, the obsessive, the hypochondriac, the addict and the hot-tempered athlete – people thing they’re beyond help. Lost causes. But where the world sees losers, the FBI sees its only hope. With the help of a dangerous serum, the FBI erases the teens’ past problems and provides each of them a psychic power. In return, all they have to do is help find the killer who’s turned their small town upside down. The teens’ outsider status gives them the perfect cover and their new powers help them follow leads that have eluded the authorities. But the same traits that make them top investigators also make them vulnerable. As they close in on a suspect, they expose a conspiracy that puts them directly in harm’s way and makes them wonder who – if anyone – they can really trust. If anything happens to them, will anyone even care? |
