YA
Ben is devastated when his crush, Mira, and her sister Francesca are found drowned in a quarry near their tight-knit, Italian-Catholic Boston suburb. Ben follows a trail of cryptic notes Mira left behind, and alternating chapters flash back to the sisters' last months of grappling, privately, with a supernatural--perhaps holy--phenomenon. This novel is tantalizingly eerie but leaves too many questions unanswered.
