Too Shattered for Mending

â€œThe missing link betweenÂ Looking for AlaskaÂ andÂ Winterâ€™s Bone.â€ â€”Jeff Zentner, author ofÂ The Serpent King.Â

â€œA portrait of the heart and will that's so tragic and beautiful it singes. . . . Enough to launch a thousand of those tweets that say 'I'm not crying,Â you'reÂ crying.'" â€”The New York Times Book Review

â€œLittleâ€ McCardell is doing all he can just to keep it together after the disappearance of his grandfather â€œBigâ€ and the arrest of his older brother, JT. Heâ€™s looking out for his younger cousin, trying to stay afloat in school, working in the town graveyard for extra cash, and in his spare time he's pining after Rowanâ€”the girl JT was dating until he got locked up.Â When the cops turn up asking questions about Big, Little doesnâ€™t want to get involved in the investigationâ€”he's already got enough to deal withâ€”but he has no choice. Especially not after the sherriff's deputy catches him hunting deer out of season and threatens to prosecute unless he cooperates.

Soon Little finds himself drowning in secrets, beholden to the sheriff, to JT, to Rowan, and to Bigâ€™s memory, with no clear way out that doesnâ€™t betray at least one of them. And when Littleâ€™s deepest secret is revealed, thereâ€™s no telling how it could shatter their lives.

â€œA powerful and uncompromising storyÂ . . .You will not soon forget Little McCardell or his unwavering spirit.â€Â â€”Kathleen Glasgow,Â New York Times bestselling author ofÂ Girl in Pieces
