Left completely alone, Tiger is thrown into the foster care system, moving between unfamiliar homes while struggling to cope with overwhelming grief, guilt, and anger. As she uncovers secrets about her family—including a father in prison and a half-sister she never knew—Tiger faces difficult choices and painful experiences that force her to grow up quickly. Through therapy groups, new relationships, and moments of both despair and hope, she slowly begins to understand that grief doesn’t disappear but becomes something she learns to live with. The novel explores themes of loss, identity, resilience, and the importance of finding connection even in the darkest times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout The Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"342\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"41\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eKathleen Glasgow\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e is a bestselling American writer known for her powerful young adult novels that explore themes like grief, mental health, trauma, and healing.
