How to Save a Life

Everyone knows how to live, be who they are, find their place. But I'm still waiting.

Jill's life lost all meaning when her dad died. Friends, boyfriends, college - nothing matters any more. Then her mother drops a bombshell. She's going to adopt a baby.

Mandy is desperate for her life to change. Seventeen, pregnant and leaving home, she is sure of only one thing - her baby must never have a life like hers, whatever it takes.

Heart-achingly beautiful, How to Save a Life is about finding love, truth and your place in the world... all where you least expect it.
