Publisher's Summary

Finding yourself in hospital, in a bed full of shattered glass, is traumatic. Coming to terms with multiple fractures and probable long-term difficulties is something else again - slow, painful, full of obstacles and questions with no clear answers. Anna is used to being athletic, popular, 'normal'. Now she feels the layers of her familiar self being peeled away; nothing is normal or easy. Can she pick up the pieces of her life? What part will Hayden and Luke play? And who, now, is Anna Duncan?

What the critics say

"Anna's pain, fear, and dissociation from her former self are rendered so convincingly that readers will close the book believing they have encountered a primary source on trauma." ( Kirkus Reviews)
"A gripping narrative, told with smarting honesty." ( School Library Journal)
"Provides a very realistic portrait of the physical and mental adjustments demanded by an accident." ( Midwest Book Review)
