Split<\/a>
Written by<\/b> Swati Avasthi<\/a><\/h3>\n

Trade Paperback<\/b>, 288 pages | Ember | Juvenile Fiction – Social Situations – Physical & Emotional Abuse; Juvenile Fiction – Family – Siblings; Juvenile Fiction – Social Situations – Violence | $8.99<\/b> | January 24, 2012 | 978-0-375-86341-7 (0-375-86341-9)<\/p>\n

Sixteen-Year-Old Jace Witherspoon arrives at the doorstep of his estranged brother Christian with a re-landscaped face (courtesy of his father’s fist), $3.84, and a secret.<\/p>\n

He tries to move on, going for new friends, a new school, and a new job, but all his changes can’t make him forget what he left behind—his mother, who is still trapped with his dad, and his ex-girlfriend, who is keeping his secret.<\/p>\n

At least so far.<\/p>\n

Worst of all, Jace realizes that if he really wants to move forward, he may first have to do what scares him most: He may have to go back. First-time novelist Swati Avasthi has created a riveting and remarkably nuanced portrait of what happens after<\/i>. After you’ve said enough, after you’ve run, after you’ve made the split—how do you begin to live again? Readers won’t be able to put this intense page-turner down.<\/p>\n

From the Hardcover edition.<\/i><\/p>\n
