Hills's rich imagery and masterful storytelling come together to create a tale that is both poetic and compelling. . . A well-crafted story from a new voice., "...Acutely insightful...the mosaic of imagery and musings in [Will's] poetic, staccato narration offers thought-provoking ideas about grief and the universal drive to find a purpose. Although this novel begins with a death, it is a celebration of life, companionship, and love." -- Publishers Weekly, STARRED review "Hills's rich imagery and masterful storytelling come together to create a tale that is both poetic and compelling. . .

Synopsis
Seven days after his mother dies in a sudden, senseless accident, seventeen-year-old Will embarks on a search for meaning that leads him to the great philosophers--Plato, Seneca, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche--and to Taryn, the beautiful girl he meets at his mother's wake. Will is desperate to find, however he can, something authentic, something ultimate, something so true he would live or die for it. But is he willing to risk losing Taryn--losing everything --to seek the answers he craves?
