YA
When seventeen-year-old Tam becomes a widow after only six weeks of marriage, she reluctantly returns to her old claustrophobic island life to finish high school. Living at home and attending a weekly young widows support group, she juggles exploring her grief with finding herself. Tam's story is told with emotional honesty, and her growth is realistic and hopeful.

YA
With an asteroid strike imminent, three Martha's Vineyard teens--loner Caden; Sienna, just released from a psychiatric hospital; and Zan, who is trying to solve the mystery of her boyfriend's death--live what could be their last days as best they can. With a weighty, appropriately foreboding writing style, Coutts paints a candid and emotional picture of a pre-apocalyptic America.
