The New York Times bestselling author of Tell Me Three Things and What
to Say Next delivers a poignant and hopeful novel about resilience and
reinvention, first love and lifelong friendship, the legacies of loss,
and the stories we tell ourselves in order to survive. "A luminous,
lovely story about a girl who builds a future from the ashes of her
past." --KATHLEEN GLASGOW, New York Times bestselling author of Girl
in Pieces Sometimes looking to the past helps you find your future.
Abbi Hope Goldstein is like every other teenager, with a few smallish
exceptions: her famous alter ego, Baby Hope, is the subject of
internet memes, she has asthma, and sometimes people spontaneously
burst into tears when they recognize her. Abbi has lived almost her
entire life in the shadow of the terrorist attacks of September 11. On
that fateful day, she was captured in what became an iconic
photograph: in the picture, Abbi (aka "Baby Hope") wears a birthday
crown and grasps a red balloon; just behind her, the South Tower of
the World Trade Center is collapsing. Now, fifteen years later, Abbi
is desperate for anonymity and decides to spend the summer before her
seventeenth birthday incognito as a counselor at Knights Day Camp two
towns away. She's psyched for eight weeks in the company of
four-year-olds, none of whom have ever heard of Baby Hope. Too bad
Noah Stern, whose own world was irrevocably shattered on that terrible
day, has a similar summer plan. Noah believes his meeting Baby Hope is
fate. Abbi is sure it's a disaster. Soon, though, the two team up to
ask difficult questions about the history behind the Baby Hope photo.
But is either of them ready to hear the answers?
