Overview:
After sixteen year old Lark is kidnapped, raped, and left to die, her friends Nyetta and Eve struggle to cope with the loss of their friend and problems in their own lives.
Nyetta is haunted by Lark’s ghost who needs her help while she also struggles with her parents’ divorce. Eve faces guilt over her recent falling out with Lark while struggling with being molested by her coach. Although dead, Lark explains what happened to her while longing to be freed from the realm she is stuck in. If she is not helped, then Lark will forever be imprisoned in a tree like all murdered girls. Each girl’s story is slowly revealed as the chapters switch perspective between the three.
Why
Lark and all murdered girls become trees is never explained, and the
three main characters have distinct personalities but remain static
throughout the story.
