Overview
"In his unflinching and resonant new novel, Bryan Bliss shows that there is no straight line through trauma, no easy recipe for healing. Instead, in three loosely connected stories of young people bound by an all-too familiar tragedy, he deftly illuminates the small Ā moments of human connection and resolve that might just lead to a place of grace."āGayle Forman, bestselling author of If I StayĀ and I Have Lost My Way
Fight. Flight. Freeze. What do you do when you canāt move on, even though the rest of the world seems to have?Ā
For readers of Jason Reynolds, Marieke Nijkamp, and Laurie Halse Anderson. Powerful and tense, Thoughts & PrayersĀ is an extraordinary novel that explores what it means to heal and to feel safe in a world that constantly chooses violence.
Claire, Eleanor, and Brezzen have little in common.Ā ClaireĀ fled to Minnesota with her older brother, Eleanor is the face of a social movement, and BrezzenĀ retreated into the fantasy world of Wizards & Warriors.
But a year ago, they were linked. They all hid under the same staircase and heard the shots that took the lives of some of their classmates and a teacher. Now, each one copes with the trauma as best as they can, even as the world around them keeps moving.
Told in three loosely connected but inextricably intertwined stories, National Book Awardālonglisted author Bryan BlissāsĀ Thoughts & PrayersĀ follows three high school students in the aftermath of a school shooting.
