Description

COLORADO BOOK AWARD FINALISTSilence is safe. Fate is not. When Sovern Briggs survives a car crash, she stops talking in order to seal in the memory of the final sounds of her mothers life. As conflict with her father builds and failure in school looms, Sovern seeks relief in a dangerous boyfriend and in speeds adrenaline edge. These needs collide, leading Sovern to a snowboarding accident that changes her future . . . and perhaps that of our universe. Life at the Speed of Us weaves dyslexia, math, cutting-edge science, genius, and love into a young womans reluctant journey toward grace. Praise: ""It is intriguing to find quantum mechanics blended into a coming-of-age story . . . that is rich in sensory detail and filled with dynamic characters.""VOYA - from Amzon
