Oh wow, this book is amazing.
Willow drives her parents home from a party one night, they give her the keys becasue they both had too much to drink.
As she drives them home something goes horribly wrong, a terrible storm, lashing rain and hellatious lightning.
The car strikes a oak tree and both of the parents are killed.
Willow is stunned with grief. She must live with her older brother and wife, and go to a new school.
How she copes with her post traumatic stress, is cut herself. If she can cut, she gets a release.
She meets Guy, a strong shy young man, who feels a drawing to withdrawn Willow.
What happens next is magical and heartbreaking.
