About this ebook
At seventeen, Sophie is a mess. Her best friend is dead and her boyfriend has gone. She's dropped out of school, sleeps through the day, eats all night and refuses to see anyone. Her family has had enough. But Sophie is about to embark on the strangest journey of her life. It will take her back into her family's past, back to the origins of the bitter rift between her mother and her Aunt Fran, to her Uncle Jimmy and the Vietnam War, and finally to the girl in the painting and the story haunting all their lives.

This book is amazing. And to the people listening to it on a disc... Learn to read you will get into it more and to the person calling the main character a complainer well wouldn't you if you had lost your best friend??? Come off it you negative people go read more mills and boon books. Life isn't easy for everybody and chances are if you don't like it you don't remember what it was like to be 17 or you have had it too easy so you down grade those with struggles.
