Save Yourself

Save Yourself

Save yourself - or the person you love most in the world...

When Patrick Cusimano's alcoholic father kills a child in a hit-and-run, Patrick is faced with a terrible choice: turn his father in - destroying what's left of his family in the process - or keep quiet. But can Patrick's brother, Mike, live with the choice that was made that night? Layla Elshere was once a poster-girl for purity. But when her evangelical father forces her to spearhead a campaign against her school, it compels her to question everything she's ever known. Now Layla is doing all she can to obliterate her past. Verna adores her older sister but as events begin to spiral, Verna must make the hardest choice possible; save the person she loves most in the world - or save herself.

Save Yourself is a stunning novel about the power struggles and divided loyalties of adolescence and about the way in which one terrible decision can alter the whole course of your life.
