Synopsis
"A disturbing yet uplifting study of a woman's emergence from darkness" - BookLife/Publishers Weekly"Maybe when everything shatters, this is all there is."Her life is normal. It's fine. Nothing matters. Who needs home? Or family? And what the hell is love, really? Trey isn't looking to find out. She is boring, and she is fine.
At least that's what she tells herself amid the aftershock of hope and betrayal. She won't just shut out the past; she will become invisible. So she runs. She leaves. So she doesn't have to look. So she doesn't have to feel.
Yet the past haunts her-and so does the future.
Burdened by regret, her body has become the host of so much she can't understand. Love, longing, life-she doesn't want any of it, but it won't leave her alone. As if she's some magnet for everything that hurts. As if she will never outpace the demons. But what if the darkness isn't out there? What if she's the thing that has always been wrong?
What if it has always been her?
And does that mean she will never escape?
Synopsis
"A disturbing yet uplifting study of a woman's emergence from darkness" - BookLife/Publishers WeeklyShe's just another jaded urbanite, working herself to death by day and staring into a glass of vodka by night. It's fine. Who needs home or family? Not Trey-not after her entire hometown shunned her as a sinner.
And sure, love is what drew everyone's condemnation in the first place; love is what drove Trey to abandon her siblings with their angry father and leave her glaring church community in the dust. But that doesn't mean she expects to find love now, right?
From the Midwest to Manhattan, the gleaming high-rise office to the seedy corner bar, Trey keeps her head down and keeps moving. She isn't sure how far she'll need to go to outrun her demons, or how many friendships she'll make and then sabotage along the way. All she knows is she can't slow down or look back, not when all it takes is a phone call to catch her off guard, the shards of her broken past slicing back into the present.
Like Glass is a cutting depiction of religious bigotry and the scars it leaves throughout one young woman's life. And yet, along her journey, Trey's voice is as sensitive as it is cynical, belying the grain of hope that she still holds in spite of it all.
