If you hear a voice no one else can hear, how do you know whether it's there to help you or to hurt you? For fans of Carrie by Stephen King comes the intimate portrait of Kori--15 years old and feeling like an outcast in both her school and crowded rural home. When tragedy shatters what little stability her family had, she and her sister Sera are sent to live with relatives they've never met. Transplanted from poverty to prosperity, Kori hopes to turn her life around--to be loved by family, friends, and a cute boy named Robin. But what looks promising on the surface hides a much darker reality. Sometimes little girls aren't so innocent, cute boys aren't so kind, the voice in your head isn't your conscience, and magic or miracles don't save the day. Kori must decide whether to do what's nice, or to do what's right--even if the whole world says it's wrong. Raw, unsettling, and deeply human, this is the story of a girl trying to outrun the life she came from - and the darkness that refuses to let her go.
