Popular cheerleaders Bridget and Maureen are severely injured in a car accident; one girl dies while the other, disfigured and in a coma, wakes up to everyone calling her the wrong name. Deft switches in perspective convey the community's emotional devastation. Mitchard's detailed account of the survivor's physical and neurological recovery process adds a substantive layer to the narrative.
