Sadie and Elana are keeping dangerous secrets.
Best friends since elementary school, they know everything about each other, but on the night of the fireworks, something terrible happened to Sadie that she hasn’t told anyone. She can’t even say the word to herself. Instead, she’s started cutting to deal with the pain.
Elana has a secret of her own; she’s texting Hunter and making plans for a clandestine meeting with him. She doesn’t know what he did or why he really wants to keep their relationship secret.
To end this dangerous cat-and-mouse game, Sadie must reclaim her courage and rescue Elana before a rapist can attack again.
THE BRIEF FROM THE AUTHOR
Characters Description
Sadie – a petite brown-haired tomboy with the courage of Thor and nicknamed “Sparkplug” because she throws off sparks.
Elana – yellow-blonde hair, often worn in a thick, long braid over her shoulder, wears turquoise cowboy boots and tiny gold unicorn earrings
Horses – Elana has horses and a baby foal is a prominent element in the story
Knitting and Yarn – the girls are avid knitters
The book is about “knowing” and keeping secrets, growing up (coming-of-age), friendship, and not all darkness. It has a positive message.
