Book excerpt: DIVIn a house full of dark memories, two sisters try to escape the past/divDIV Holland Shepard is a responsible teenager who spends her life trying to keep her feelings inside.

The girls are like summer and fall—close, yet utterly distinct—but in their parents’ house, they are growing up almost as ghosts. Because this home belongs to John, Kevin, and Elizabeth—Holland and Geneva’s siblings, who died before the girls were born./divDIV /divDIVBurdened by grief, their parents cannot bond with the daughters who replaced their original family, and so it is left to Holland to look out for herself and her sister.
