Loud Awake And Lost

Loud Awake And Lost by Adele Griffin, 289 pages

Ember is recovering from a terrible car accident. Her body was badly damaged; the doctor’s find it unlikely that she’ll ever dance again, as she used to do. However, her mind was apparently also somewhat damaged, she has no memory of the two months before the accident. The doctor’s say it’s normal, that the memories may come back but until then Ember feels somewhat lost. She keeps finding evidence that perhaps the last two months before the accident may have been a little different than the rest of her life previous. When she finds out that there was a passenger in her car who died in the accident, Ember is determined to find out more, no matter what. A really good novel about self-discovery, it probably has wider appeal to teen girls than boys.
