(3) YA In a coming-of-age story set in Alaska, talented writer Clara struggles to come to terms with a bear attack that killed her mother and left her badly scarred. On top of that, her boyfriend, Elias, proposes; sexual curiosity challenges her Mormon faith; and she gets into her dream college--in NYC. Perry deftly combines many complex threads to reach a satisfying conclusion.
