Description
Dogwood by Lindsay Parnell Released from prison on probation, 19-year-old Harper Haley returns to her hometown, where she struggles to rebuild her life amidst the brutal landscape of her youth. This is a story about one girl's sin, guilt and resurrection, as she navigates a cycle of sex, drugs and abuse that threatens to consume her. At the heart of the novel are the complex relationships between Harper and her childhood friends Collier and Caro, whose bond with her becomes increasingly fragile as she backslides into old patterns. As Harper's story unfolds, it becomes clear that the act that forever altered her life is one she cannot speak about, leaving only silence and regret. A powerful exploration of obsession, identity and the destructive power of sisterhood, Dogwood is a haunting portrayal of one girl's struggle to find redemption in a world that seems determined to destroy her.
