Willow by Julia Hoban

Willow Randall spent the first sixteen years of her life as a normal teenager. Then one rainy night, as she’s driving her intoxicated parents home, she gets in a crash. Both of her parents are killed in the crash and Willow must leave her current life to go live with her older brother, David, as a result.
Willow feels like a burden to her older brother, his wife, and their young child and with the guilt of her parent’s death pressing on her she turns to cutting to deal with it. Willow feels more alone than ever in her new life and school. Then she meets Guy, someone who she can open up a little to and share her feelings.
The book Willow opens up a more somber and darker side of life that isn’t all that beautiful. It will remind the reader how easily pain can slip into our lives and could potentially ruin us. Willow is a rather average sized book that contains 329 pages.
