An astonishing friendship. A cascade of mysteries. A snarl of secrets. And a couple steps away from disaster.


All Jessica wanted was to keep things from getting worse. With her family shattered, her older brother vanished, and an outcast at school, she stalked through her days with a simmering anger that was never far from exploding.

But her world turns inside-out when she encounters a "lost girl" in a lonely place, an ordinary barefoot kid dressed in misfit clothes-except that the girl can seemingly slip through cracks in the universe and make astonishing things happen just by playing music.

There were too many questions. Who was the girl, really? How did she learn to do such unbelievable things? Why won't she talk about her past or where she comes from? And why does she seem so thrilled to get Jessica's help?

Seeking the answers will take Jessica down a rabbit hole of twists and mysteries, and through heights and depths beyond her imagining. Will her bond with the strange girl give them the courage to make it through? Or will their mistakes and buried secrets leave them stumbling into disaster, in a place beyond hope?
