A dusty, second-hand book that makes one girl's wish come true—even as it destroys her life. Simone wants to be a normal teen with a normal family: Mom, Dad, and daughter. Instead, she has a mother who was dealt the cancer card and a father that took off to marry a younger woman. That meant every hour of Simone's life is about caring for her mother during her darkest hours. When Simone finds a cure, her world changes on a dime. Mom is pulled from the brink of death, and Simone is left holding the precious tome that gave the gift of life. Tristan is boy-next-door handsome, and now, Simone has a chance to date, but her obsession with the book is a dangerous one. Everything is threatening to unravel unless she stops reading—something she has no intention of doing. Shocking, heart wrenching, and insightful, Utterances will make you question everything you thought you knew about self-sacrifice. Buy Utterances today, and join Simone as she struggles to understand the difference between good and evil.
