A new perspective on the effects of 9/11.

The Bottom Line: The world surrounding the events were shadowed by a sky darkened with ash, but does that mean everything about it became dark. . .emotionally and otherwise?
Review: Fifteen-year-old Green was once a patient and quiet girl. She believed the future was a book of blank pages she could fill in however she wanted. Her world was as perfect as she could hope for, and she simply had to make her way through it.

  Publishers Weekly: "In lesser hands, the layers of dense, lush description--apple trees 'as fruitless as fence posts'; 'mourning doves the color of tears'--might have overwhelmed the dreamy, first-person narrative.
