(1) YA Seventeen-year-old Jersey, once a popular football star, returns home almost a year after his attempted suicide leaves him brain damaged and unable to remember the reasons behind the attempt. Struggling to repair relationships and overcome debilitating neurological tics (deftly conveyed through narrative voice), he begins a tense excavation of the secrets erased from his own mind. A poignant, life-affirming drama of loss and renewal.
