Description

VICKY CRUZ SHOULDN'T BE ALIVE.That's what she thinks, anyway and why she tried to kill herself. But then she arrives at Lakeview Hospital, where she meets Mona, the live wire; Gabriel, the saint; E.M., always angry; and Dr. Desai, a quiet force. With stories and honesty, kindness and hard work, they push her to reconsider her life before Lakeview and offer her an acceptance she's never had. Yet Vicky's newfound peace is as fragile as the roses that grow around the hospital. And when a crisis forces the group to split up sending her back to the life that drove her to suicide Vicky must find her own courage and strength. She may not have any. She doesn't know. Inspired in part by the author's own experience with depression, The Memory of Light is the rare young adult novel that focuses not on the events leading up to a suicide attempt, but the recovery from one about living when life doesn't seem worth it and how we go on anyway.
