Burn

by Alma Fullerton

Cormorant Books | August 4, 2010 | Trade Paperback

Casey has never felt more alone. Since her mother''s death, she has struggled to keep the house running and care for Ginny, her autistic sister. Her friends aren''t close anymore and her dad has withdrawn into drink and his own private grief. Casey begins writing notes to her mother. Then she sets a ritual fire, burns the notes, and watches the smoke rise. Maybe her mother will see her message. Soon the ritual fires won''t be able to relieve her growing resentment or contain the terrible secret she has been harbouring since her mother''s illness. A powerful free-verse novel by the author of Libertad, Burn explores a girl''s desperate attempt to keep her family together, even as her own growing obsessions threaten to destroy them all.
