【幸與不幸-倖存的創傷,活著的人如何堅強】 May 是校園槍擊案的倖存者,但她一點都不覺得幸運,她感到氣憤、迷失、孤單,總是喃喃自語為什麼存活的是自己?在 May 的雙胞胎弟弟不幸身亡的槍擊案後十一個月,她還是處在自我懷疑與質問中,怎麼當初就只有她剛好走出練團室。沒有其他人知道她當時去哪、做了什麼,也沒有人能了解 May 大難不死的感受。 Zach 的生活則是在他母親決定為槍手辯護後風雲變色,他的女朋友跟他分手、兄弟們離他而去,現在他大部分的時間只能陪他的小妹閒晃,還有僅剩的一名好朋友。這位朋友為了不讓 Zach 繼續消沉,他推薦 Zach 去加入新的樂團,轉移生活重心。而在那裡 Zach 認識了同樣也是新加入的成員 May,倆人將重新定義生存的意義。 May is a survivor. But she doesn’t feel like one. She feels angry. And lost. And alone. Eleven months after the school shooting that killed her twin brother, May still doesn’t know why she was the only one to walk out of the band room that day. No one gets what she went through–no one saw and heard what she did. No one can possibly understand how it feels to be her. Zach lost his old life when his mother decided to defend the shooter. His girlfriend dumped him, his friends bailed, and now he spends his time hanging out with his little sister…and the one faithful friend who stuck around. His best friend is needy and demanding, but he won’t let Zach disappear into himself. Which is how Zach ends up at band practice that night. The same night May goes with her best friend to audition for a new band. Which is how May meets Zach. And how Zach meets May. And how both might figure out that surviving could be an option after all. ISBN: 9780593118528
