About
the Book
...I
stare at all the kids moving through the hall in all directions and wonder which
one of them is trying to destroy me.
Sophie’s
plans to go to college and become a poet seem unreachable now that she’s
pregnant. And while her mother pressures her to reveal the name of the
baby’s father, Sophie struggles to learn the identity of her own father.
She begins to have haunting dreams of whales, and they’re trying to tell
her something—but what? Sophie becomes determined to finish her senior
year despite these obstacles, but a series of threatening letters begins to chip
away at her resolve. As the due date approaches, secrets come to light and
events spiral out of control. Is Sophie losing her mind? Or is she finding her
soul?
